Report: Wojciech Szczesny to make Roma switch permanent

Arsenal goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny will join Roma on a permanent deal next summer, according to reports.

The 25-year-old announced that he is on the verge of a season-long loan move to the Serie A side on Sunday, after falling further down the pecking order at Arsenal due to the arrival of Petr Cech.

The deal with Roma was expected to be just for a year, but The Mirror claims that the Polish shot-stopper has played his last game for the Gunners.

Szczesny lost his place as Arsenal's first choice on New Year's Day, when he was caught smoking after Arsenal's 2-0 loss to Southampton.
