Hleb hints at Arsenal stay

Alexander Hleb has hinted that he could stay at Arsenal after revealing that the Premiership is the best league in the world. The Gunners midfielder has been linked with a host of clubs and his agent is desperate to secure a move for his client. Barcelona and Inter Milan are both reportedly interested in him.

"I have learned in England that there is still so much to improve," Hleb told Frankfurter Allgemeine.

"I have always dreamed of playing in a great club. Now I have learned that it is not so easy and a lot of work.

"The first year was a killer. I felt very lonely. It was clear that The Premier League would be a challenge - but with this pace, I have not expected this. The Bundesliga is still a good league, but a season in England feels like two in Germany.

"I will tell you an example: When I was here at the beginning, everything went chop chop, so fast. The pace was madness, even in training. I look for the ball in front of me, then where I can play it - when I looked down again the ball was gone.
