Arsenal player follows opposition club and some of its players on social media website Instagram. Arsenal player is immediately linked with transfer to said club. Such is the world we live in…

Arseblog News isn’t really sure whether Wojciech Szczesny is trolling the football press or if he’s genuinely interested in photographs posted by AS Roma and its stars, however, he must have known either way that his ‘hint’ would be taken at face value by rumour-hungry hacks staring down the barrel of a slow news day.

For the most part today’s speculation linking the Gunners keeper with a move to the Italian capital has been reported within the context of the Instagram connection. But not everywhere…

Football Italia, taking their lead from regional publication Il Tempo, claim Roma have turned their attention to the Pole because their previous keeper target, Sergio Romero, looks set to snub them in favour of a move to Manchester United.

They add weight to their assertion by underlining that Rudy Garcia’s first choice stopper, Morgan de Sanctis, turns 39 next year and is set to retire. Il Tempo go so far as to claim that personal terms and a fee with Arsenal have been agreed. Hmm…

Given Szczesny declared his loyalty to the Gunners in the aftermath of the FA Cup triumph in May, confirmed his relationship with Arsene Wenger is solid, went out of his way to welcome Petr Cech and also took part in the Singapore tour it would appear a move away from the Emirates is NOT on the cards. But what do we know?

Arsene Wenger does have a decision to make about one keeper at least…whether that’s Wojciech, David Ospina – who recently said he’s willing to stay and fight for his place – or Emiliano Martinez is yet to be decided.

So in light of the above we’re going for a 7 on the poo-o-meter.

For what it’s worth, Wojciech also follows Barcelona, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, a few models and Dan Bilzerian on Instagram. But he’s not yet been linked with them this week.
