Wojciech Szczesny appears to be staying in Italy after Juventus reached an agreement in principle with Arsenal to sign the Polish goalkeeper - who was on loan at Roma last season - for €16 million, according to Sky Sports.

It's believed that Juventus has also successfully negotiated terms of a contract that will see Szczesny put pen to paper on a four-year contract that will pay him £3.5 million annually.

Meanwhile, his agent has denied reports of an agreement between the two teams.

"There is still no agreement with Juventus," Manasseh said in an interview with Przeglad Sportowy, as translated by ESPN FC.

"Szczesny has yet to talk with Wenger, who has been confirmed as Arsenal coach for the next two years."

Szczesny has previously stated he would "love" to return to Arsenal after spending the past two seasons on loan in the Italian capital.

However, opportunities in north London are expected to be limited as long as Petr Cech is in an Arsenal shirt - the Czech Republic international's contract runs until 2019.

It will be a similar scenario in Turin, as Szczesny will likely act as Gianluigi Buffon's stand-in during his first season with Juventus. Although the 39-year-old has yet to confirm a date for his retirement from all competitions, Buffon will call time on his international career after Italy's 2018 World Cup campaign.

Szczesny, whose contract with the Gunners expires in 2018, has made 150 appearances for Arsenal since joining the team from Legia Warsaw in 2006.
