​Wenger has encouraging words for departing Arsenal keeper Szczesny

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger says keeper Wojciech Szczesny's long-term future with the Gunners is still secure despite his proposed loan move to Roma.

Wenger said: "Szczesny is a top-class goalkeeper - we have three goalkeepers who are top. For one of the keepers, if he can play somewhere that would be good.

"I believe he will have a future at Arsenal. I personally rate him highly - you do not take a boy and put him in the first team at the age of 20. He already has huge experience. I don't want that experience at such a young age to be wasted."
