Rosicky first signed for Arsenal in 2006 following his departure from Borussia Dortmund and has since been a popular figure for Arsenal fans and a vital asset within Wenger’s squad. Rosicky has netted 24 times for the Gunners since his arrival in all competitions and has been a key playmaker in Wenger’s ever improving midfield, though persistent injury problems have led to him being in and out of the side. Rosicky has found some rich form in recent times, scoring twice in his last three appearances against Tottenham Hotspur in the FA Cup and scoring one of the goals of the season against Sunderland at the weekend. This has certified Arsene Wenger’s desires to extend the Czech’s contract until 2016 which he expressed in a recent interview.
Rosicky, 33, like Ryan Giggs of Manchester United could still be a key player in Arsenal’s hopes of retaining their first Premier League title since 2004 or any trophy since 2005 as they look to win the FA cup. Tomas Rosicky has never experienced cup or league success at Arsenal but has been one of few experienced players to show commitment and passion for Arsenal football club throughout the previous nine tough and frustrating years without any silverware – stating that in an ideal world his career would end at Arsenal.
This bright spark in a difficult period in the club’s season could be the start of something special for this team since the summer signing of Mesut Ozil and the new found anticipation over the certain title charge that exists for Arsenal this season.
