Szczesny to join Roma on loan

The Poland international lost his place to David Ospina for the second half of last season and is allowed to leave the club for the new campaign after the arrival of Petr Cech.

Arsenal goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny is poised to seal a loan move to Roma, Goal UK has learned.

The Poland international lost his place to David Ospina for the second half of the 2014-15 Premier League season, although he played in five of Arsenal's six games as they recorded back-to-back FA Cup triumphs.

The Gunners signed Petr Cech from Chelsea for around 11 million pounds ($17 million) earlier this summer, a deal hailed by many as a turning point for Arsene Wenger's side in its quest to win the title for the first time since 2004.
