Wojciech Szczesny is closing in on a move to Juventus

Wojciech Szczesny has become a peripheral figure at Arsenal, spending the last two seasons on loan with Serie A giants Roma.

And it seems the Poland international will soon be calling Italy home on a permanent basis as he nears a move to Juventus.

Reports in Italy are suggesting the goalkeeper has agreed a four-year deal with the Serie A champions and could finalise his transfer later this week.

And that seems to have been supported by the fact the 27-year-old has not been included in Arsene Wenger's squad for their pre-season tour of Australia.
