Arsenal goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny is delighted with his move to Roma.

The Pole formally joined Roma on a season-long loan yesterday.

“I couldn't wait to get here and now I'm here. It's great to meet everyone around the club. Now I can't wait to get started with some hard work," he told Roma TV.

“It was a no-brainer for me. Once the offer from Roma came in, I spoke to Arsene Wenger and he told me it would be a fantastic move for me to join Roma and play in the Champions League, fight for the Serie A title and try and improve the squad.

“I then spoke to Walter Sabatini and made my decision very quickly. I think it's a great opportunity for me to gain valuable experience as a young goalkeeper but also to try and help the team.

“Sabatini told me what he expects of me, which is to work really hard and really be a part of this great football club. I'm really, really looking forward to it and I'm very happy for the warm welcome I've received."
