Szczesny 'to leave Roma'

By Football Italia staff

Roma goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny looks set to return to Arsenal at the end of the season, with Lukasz Skorupski waiting to replace him.

The loan agreement between the London club and the Giallorossi for Szczesny includes an option to buy for €16m, but with the fee set so high Roma will look for alternatives, claim Corriere dello Sport.

The Polish international is said to be keen to return to Arsenal to fight for his place, as Peter Cech is now 34, but Calciomercato.it state that Napoli could provide an alternative destination.

The Partenopei are said to be in the market for a goalkeeper this summer as Pepe Reina is suffering from some poor performances in the current campaign.

Roma however, have a natural replacement in Skorupski, who has been in fine form whilst on loan to Empoli this season. The 25-year-old pulled off a string of superb saves for the Tuscan outfit against Roma at the end of October, holding the Giallorossi to a 0-0 draw.
