Bartley feels ready to play for Arsenal

After penning his new deal, Kyle Bartley feels he's ready to play first team football for Arsenal.

The former Bolton Wanderers junior penned a deal to 2014 yesterday.

"If I'm honest, I don't think I was anywhere near the level to play for Arsenal last season," he told the club's official website.

"But I've come back, I feel really strong and I feel that I am ready now.

"I am a little bit different to the other centre-backs.

"I like the physical side of the game and I see myself as a leader.

"If Arsene decides that he wants me in the first team then that will be fantastic."
