‘I had a rough start, when I came to this league and it took me a while to learn how to play in it:’ How Lukasz Fabianski has stood test of time, despite once being nicknamed 'Flappyanski' at Arsenal, and wants to play in Europe with West Ham

There will be some people, if they are honest with themselves, who must be surprised to see Lukasz Fabianski still here.

Still stopping shots in the Premier League, still the first-choice goalkeeper of a top-flight club with European ambitions.

A few Arsenal fans, you would expect, especially those who nicknamed him ‘Flappyanski’ during his difficult times under Arsene Wenger.

With three clean sheets this season, Fabianski has amassed 84 clean sheets during his career

And perhaps a few West Ham supporters, too, after Alphonse Areola signed permanently from Paris Saint-Germain in the summer.

That’s before you take into account he turns 38 next year.
