Wojciech Szczesny has confirmed his career plans through his Instagram account on Sunday night.
The 25 year old goalkeeper was linked with a move to Serie A giants AS Roma on a season long loan and Arsene Wenger also confirmed about the deal few days ago.
Szczesny started following his new club Roma last week along with his new teammates includng Roma talisman Francesco Totti and Italian international midfielder Alessandro Florenzi.
Less than a week later, Szczesny has now announced his move to Roma by posting a video on Instagram.
Speaking in Italian, Szscesny said:
“Good evening Giallorossi! I am very happy, because I am going to Roma tomorrow. I’ll see you soon.”
Here is the Instagram video:
With the arrival of Petr Cech, a move for either of the goalkeepers David Ospina and him was imminent and the Polish international will be the one to make a move away from Emirates on loan.
The goalkeeper is capped 23 times for Polish national team and shared Premier League Golden Glove in 2013-14 season with Petr Cech and made it to the Premier League Team of the Season also.
But last season after the arrival of Colombian stopper David Ospina, a dip in form made him the second choice for the second half.
The goalkeeper signed for Arsenal in 2006 and made his way to the first team and made a total of 181 appearances for the Gunners and is still expected to have a future at Emirates with the manager rating him highly.
