Arsene Wenger has revealed that Wojciech Szczesny still has a future at Arsenal, despite falling further down the pecking order due to the arrival of Petr Cech.
The Gunners goalkeeper is expecting to complete a reported season-long loan move to Roma in the coming days, but Wenger wants to see him return and fight for his place.
"He could go on loan to Roma. We are pretty much done - it is down to paperwork," Wenger said, according to ESPN.
"As long as that is not over the line, anything can happen. Szczesny is a top-class goalkeeper. We have three goalkeepers who are top. For one of the keepers, if he can play somewhere, that would be good.
"I believe he will have a future at Arsenal. I personally rate him highly - you do not take a boy and put him in the first team at the age of 20. He already has huge experience. I don't want that experience at such a young age to be wasted."
Szczesny has made over 130 appearances for the Gunners since 2009.
