Wojciech Szczesny reveals his career at Arsenal ended after SMOKING in the dressing room

Former Arsenal goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny has revealed the truth about the time he was caught smoking in the showers after what turned out to be his last Premier League game for them.

Szczesny left boss Arsene Wenger furious when he was caught lighting up after his nightmare performance in the 2-0 defeat at Southampton on New Year's Day, 2015.

It was not the first time the Poland international had been caught smoking either as he was twice pictured with a cigarette in the summer of 2013.
