AS Roma goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny still has hopes of returning to Arsenal.

However, the Pole hints his relationship with Gunners manager Arsene Wenger is frosty.

He told Alfredopedulla.com: "I am on a straight loan, in 9 months anything can happen, so I do not know what will happen after this season.

"But Arsenal is a bit like my family, if you had told me a year ago that I'd be playing in Rome I would never have believed it, but that's football.

"I have to admit that if the Gunners called me back, I would say yes.

"My relationship with Wenger? Let's say there is no love, but not hate. I owe him so much, he was always clear to me and explained to me why I was not playing. It was not easy, but I had to accept it."
