Roma have stepped up their efforts to complete the signing of Arsenal goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny.
The Giallorossi have prioritised the signing of a new number one throughout the summer and the Polish international is their primary target.
The Telegraph have confirmed the Gunners have received an offer of a season-long loan deal for the shot-stopper from Roma.
The 25-year-old lost his first team-place to David Ospina mid-way through last season and after the recent signing of Petr Cech from Chelsea, it seems all but certain that he will remain out of Arsenal’s starting line up.
Roma are keen to complete the signing of Szczesny following the news that their current goalkeeper, Morgan De Sanctis, is planning to retire next year.
