Wojciech Szczesny reveals chat with Inaki Pena after arriving at Barcelona

Wojciech Szczesny has revealed he’s chatted with Inaki Pena after arriving at Barcelona to bolster Hansi Flick’s goalkeeping options in the wake of Marc-Andre ter Stegen’s injury.

The former Juventus stopper is now expected to rival Pena for a starting spot, but he’s told Mundo Deportivo that his main aim right now is to help the youngster.

“I made it clear to him that my main priority at the moment is to help him, because I am not ready to play, I was on holiday for two months and I need time to be able to guarantee a level to represent the shirt,” he said.
