"We haven't started negotiating yet and we'll see what happens.[LNB]"I want to stay and my fitness is getting better and better. You miss the Champions League and the Premier League when you are out for so long."[LNB]Now that he is back to fitness, Rosicky is eager to help the Gunners challenge for honours this season and has no qualms about fighting for his place.[LNB]He added: "It's always huge competition for places.
