Napoli are confident of closing a deal for Arsenal goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny.

The Pole spent this season on-loan with Roma, but is now ready to sign permanently with Napoli.

Il Mattino says Szczesny has agreed personal terms over a three-year contract with Napoli, which will now open talks with Arsenal over a fee for the keeper.

Szczesny declared last week that quitting Arsenal for Serie A was the best decision of his career.

A return to the Gunners is now remote, with the shot-stopper adamant he wants to be playing regular football at this stage in his career.
