Juventus have confirmed the signing of Arsenal's goalkeeper Szczesny
for a fee of £10m. He has signed a four year contract.
The 27 year old had spent the last two seasons on loan at Seria A side
Roma. This was after he lost his place in the Arsenal team in 2015.
He is expected to be an understudy to Gigi Buffon in the coming
season, pending when the 39 year old hangs his glove.
Speaking after coming his move to the Italian champions, he said:
"When you join Juve, it's because you've been chosen. I didn't
hesitate one moment before coming here."
His departure brings to an end a eight year association with Arsenal.
His time at the club would remain one whose potential was unfulfilled
after he arrived the club at young age.
He could count Arsene Wenger as the manager who brought him to
limelight by making him the first choice at the club at a young age.
He lost his way along that journey and his time at the club has
officially ended.
