Wojciech Szczesny Criticises Ex-Arsenal Team-Mates Robin Van Persie, Samir Nasri

Wojciech Szczesny has said former Arsenal team-mate Robin van Persie could be "extremely arrogant" and fellow Gunners alumnus Samir Nasri thought he was "some kind of gangster."

The Juventus goalkeeper recently sat down with Foot Truck (h/t Goal) and criticised Van Persie—now at Feyenoord—in relation to joining rivals Manchester United in 2012.

Szczesny—who left Arsenal for Juve in 2017—said: "He could have made other decisions and achieved lots more at Arsenal. He's extremely arrogant—sometimes. [I] have to admit, he left for Manchester United and the following year won a title.
