Hleb adapting to England
LONDON, Mar 24 (SW) - Belarus international Aleksander Hleb feels he has regained the form that inspired Arsenal to pay £10 million for his services last summer.
"Personally speaking, I feel that I am coming into form," said Hleb, who delivered an outstanding performance in the UEFA Champions League Round of 16 clash with Real Madrid.
The 24-year-old midfielder, who joined Arsenal from Stuttgart, had been hampered by a knee injury, but has fully recovered and has adapted to the demands of the English Premiership.
"The speed of the English game takes some getting used to.
"It has taken me time to adapt, to a new country, a new league - especially with the injury - but I have felt plenty of good support from the manager, from the other players and those around me," Hleb added in the lastest Arsenal matchday programme.
Arsenal travel to relegation candidates Portsmouth on Saturday.
