Arsenal transfer update: Gunners star responds to exit rumours with major statement
WOJCIECH SZCZESNY has given an emphatic response to suggestions he wants to leave Arsenal in the summer.
Wojciech Szczesny has played down reports he could leave
The Poland goalkeeper is on a season-long loan at Roma and has impressed for the Serie A side as they push to qualify for the Champions League.
And the 26-year-old was quoted by Italian newspaper Il Messaggero saying he wants to remain at the Stadio Olimpico.
He said: "I want to stay.
"It's not all up to me, obviously. I want it to happen, and I know Roma and Arsenal are talking about it, so we'll see what happens.
"I'm happy to have helped the team and winning the title must be the next objective for this club."
But Szczesny has taken to Facebook to insist he was misquoted and took a swipe at the media.
He said: “I get asked if I can stay on loan for one more year, I say its possible.
“Next thing you see, english media say ‘Szczesny wants permanent transfer’ You guys are proper s***.”
