Arsenal have reportedly agreed a deal to send goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny on loan to Serie A side Roma for the upcoming season.

Simon Jones of the MailOnline writes that the Italian side will pay an initial £250,000 for the Polish international, whose first-team chances at the Emirates look bleak after the arrival of Petr Cech from Chelsea. The piece claims that Roma wanted to sign Szczesny on a permanent deal but that "did not suit the player or Arsenal at this stage."

Cech's arrival has pushed Szczesny further down the pecking order.
