Hoyte staying at Arsenal

England under-21 and Arsenal defender Justin Hoyte has promised that he will be staying at Arsenal. Hoyte has been very patient in waiting for his first-team chance, despite falling behind Emmanuel Eboue and Bacary Sagna in the pecking order.

The 22-year-old told the club's official website: "Of course I want to stay at the club and fight.

"I want to be an Arsenal player. You never know what can happen in football but I know I am going to knuckle down, train hard, work hard and perform when I get my chance.

"It is tough at the moment because the team is doing so well and a few players are not getting into the team. It's up to us to take our chance if there is an injury.

"It is frustrating but I am a professional and need to behave that way and focus on the job in hand."
