Polish international goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny has completed his loan switch to Roma form Arsenal.
The 25-year-old signed an initial one-year loan contract with the Giallorossi and bolsters their options in goal.
The goalkeeper is expected to fight for the number one jersey at Roma with an ageing Morgan De Sanctis and the Poland international is looking forward to a new phase of his career.
Szczesny insisted that he believes Roma have the quality to win trophies next season and is hoping to settle down at his new club quickly.
Speaking to Roma TV, the Polish international said: “I’ve come here to win games and trophies with AS Roma and I believe that the team is strong enough to do so. I think there’s great potential.

“I know the faces of the players and I know their names, so hopefully I will settle in very quickly.”
Szczesny joined the Arsenal academy in 2006 and made his Premier League debut against Manchester United in December 2010.
He made 181 appeaerances for the club and won two FA Cups during his time with the Gunners.
The Pole lost his starting spot to David Ospina last season and the arrival of Petr Cech this summer further pushed him down the pecking order, which eventually led to his move to Roma.
