The Pole has been suffering from a “lack of confidence” according to boss Arsene Wenger but, despite links with a string of keepers in January, the Frenchman has kept faith with his number one.
Szczesny was much improved in Arsenal’s gritty 1-0 win at Sunderland on Saturday, pulling of a string of dramatic late saves to deny the Black Cats a deserved equaliser.
The shut-out at the Stadium of Light was the 22-year-old’s second consecutive clean sheet but the youngster still think he needs to improve.
“I still struggled a little bit on crosses so I would have been happier with a faultless performance,” the custodian is quoted as saying by the Daily Mirror.
Szczesny believes the result demonstrates that Arsenal have the character to overhaul rivals Spurs and claim a place in the Premier League top four.
“We showed people we have what it takes to be successful and showed character and desire to get the result,” he added.
