Wojciech Szczesny: 'I learnt more at Roma than 10 years at Arsenal'

Wojciech Szczesny takes a swipe at Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger by claiming that he gained more experience from working under Roma's Luciano Spalletti.

Wojciech Szczesny has claimed that he gained more experience during his season-long loan stint at Roma than he did during a decade at parent club Arsenal.

The Poland international was sent out on a short-term deal by the Gunners last summer after losing his place to Petr Cech and David Ospina at the Emirates Stadium.

Szczesny, who is reportedly valued at £15m by Arsenal, admits that he already knows where he will ply his trade in 2016-17 but is not yet willing to say publicly.

"I know where I will play next year, but I can't reveal it yet," he is quoted as saying by Italian newspaper Il Tempo. "If I stay at Roma, it'll be an opportunity to grow and improve even more. If I return to Arsenal, I'll make use of my experience in Italy.

"I learnt more in four months under [Luciano] Spalletti than in 10 years in England. He puts a lot of importance on details and wants the goalkeeper to be able to play the ball with his feet."

It was recently claimed that Roma were unwilling to match Arsenal's asking price for the keeper, but would be open to paying his wages in full should he re-join on loan.
