Arsenal's young midfielder Aaon Ramsey is confident of securing a regualar starting place in the Gunner's side.
The former Cardiff City man believes his improved physical fitness will provide him with the boost to become a key player at The Emirates.
The 18-year-old told thelondonpaper.com, "I definitely feel ready to push for the first team.
"Obviously the first year, especially the first few months, were quite surreal. It took me a bit of time to get used to things. But now I know what to expect and I'm ready to go."
The youngster is determined to prove to manager Arsene Wenger that he is worthy of a first team spot.
"Arsenal have proven that they bring in loads of youngsters and give them opportunities. And when they are ready, the boss puts them in the team. That's what I've got to prove - that I'm ready," he added.
He believes he has developed well over his first year and that his improved physical presence will give him the break he has been pushing for.
"I don't think I've changed too much as a person but obviously I have learned a lot, football-wise, from my first year, and mentally as well from living on my own," he said.
"I've been doing a few things with my Dad and my brother over the summer so physically I am a lot stronger than I was as well.
"I'd like to play in every game, but I will try my hardest to get into the starting eleven and put pressure on the manager to pick me. That's my target for the new season."
Ramsey signed for the Gunners last summer at a cost of £5 million and made 22 appearances for the club in his first season.
