Roma are keen to extend Wojciech Szczesny’s loan stint in Italy and are close to completing a deal that will see the goalkeeper return to the Italian capital for 2016-17, Corriere dello Sport report, translated to English by Football Italia.
The Poland international was number one at the Emirates Stadium for a number of seasons but lost his place in Arsene Wenger’s team after one too many high-profile mistakes.
David Ospina initially took over between the sticks for the Gunners, while the signing of Petr Cech has pushed Szczesny further down the pecking order in North London.
The Pole played an important part in Roma qualifying for the Champions League last season and was number one for the capital city outfit.
The latest report suggests that Wenger is ready to allow Szczesny to return to Roma next season rather than see him rot in the reserves in London.
