Alex Song has spoken of his appreciation for manager Arsène Wenger, for giving him his chance in the first-team last season.
Song stepped up as a consistent performer and key player for Arsenal last season, with some solid and mature defensive midfield performances.
Speaking at Arsenal.com's kit launch, the midfielder spoke about his individual displays last season, as well as the team's bad luck with injuries.
The Cameroon international believes if Arsenal can keep their players fit next season, they will be a different prospect both in the league and in Europe.
He said: "This season we lost very many players [to injury], very good players. It's very difficult when you lose so many players, but I hope next season we won't have any injuries. I think if we have everyone in the squad fit we will be a different team.
"Everyone wants to play the big games, I think for next season we will be ready.
"Everyone can see [that I've improved as a player]. They can see I'm more confident and the other plays have more confidence in me. That's why I just try to give my best in every game.
"I would like to just say thank you to the boss because he has given me a lot of credit, that's why today I'm very happy."
