Wojciech Szczesny to return to Arsenal

Wojciech Szczesny will be back at the Emirates for pre-season training after AS Roma failed to seal a permanent deal for his services. The Poland had a successful loan campaign with the Giallorossi last term.

Szczesny, 26, was expected to secure a long-term contract with Roma following a temporary spell that saw him cement the number one role at Stadio Olimpico.

However, things have not gone as planned since then, with the Gunners reluctant to accept anything less than £15m for their graduate, The Guardian reports.

It is added that Roma will shift their focus elsewhere as they are nowhere near the Gunners' valuation for the player.

Szczesny is currently featuring for Poland at the European championships in France.
