'My heart is not there anymore' - Szczesny retires

Former Arsenal and Juventus goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny has retired at the age of 34.

Szczesny made 181 appearances for the Gunners after joining the club's academy as a 16-year-old in 2006.

He joined Juve in 2017 and played 252 times, winning eight major trophies, before being released at the end of last season.

The Warsaw-born player also won 84 caps for Poland, playing at four European Championships and two World Cups.

"I didn't just realise my dreams, I've arrived where my imagination wouldn't even dare to take me," Szczesny wrote on social media.
