Krystian Bielik and his blunt verdict regarding his Arsenal future

He's a player who enjoyed a successful campaign on loan at Charlton Athletic, and Krystian Bielik says that he'll happily leave Arsenal this summer if it means securing first team football.

The 21-year-old was a key part of Lee Bowyer's side as they secured promotion to the Championship, with Bielik being a regular starter for the Addicks.

Opportunities to establish himself at the Emirates Stadium could be limited next term and Bielik says that his main priority is continuing his development at first team level.

Speaking to the local press while away with Poland under-21s, Bielik said: "My future is unknown but there is one thing I can say for sure: I will definitely not go back to Arsenal U23 team.

“At this stage it wouldn’t make sense. If I do not receive the possibility to join the first team permanently, I will have to look for other solutions.

“I feel like a senior player now so I want to play senior football. This is, however, not the right moment to discuss these issues as I want to be 100% focused on the European Championships.”
