goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny who acknowledged his
long-term future remains uncertain.
On-loan Roma goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny is unsure whether
a return to Arsenal will materialise but stated it would be a
"dream" to play for the club again.
Szczesny made the season-long move to the Stadio Olimpico
during the close-season, having lost his place to David Ospina
prior to the arrival of Petr Cech from Chelsea.
The Poland international has helped Roma to second in Serie A
but acknowledged his future beyond the end of the season is
uncertain.
"If a year ago someone had told me that I would go to Rome I
would have thought it was impossible," he told Sky Sport Italia.
"I have been with Arsenal all my life and, I do not hide it, that is
still my dream.
"For me it is like a family, I owe so much to those people that if I
were to be given a chance I would play for them. The fans here
[at Roma] have always been great, I do not know what will
happen.
"Nine months is a long time in football, things can change from
week to week."
Szczesny's relationship with Arsene Wenger has come under
scrutiny in recent seasons - the Pole having apologised after
being caught smoking in the changing rooms following defeat
to Southampton in the Premier League on New Year's Day.
"I never hated Wenger, I owe him a lot. I never hated him, I have
always taken responsibility for my mistakes and not created any
problems," he added.
"The history of the cigarette in the locker room is real, but it is
false that I argued with Wenger.
"Everyone knows that I have made mistakes but I have always
accepted the consequences. Wenger was always clear to me
and I believe that anyone who is honest is to be treated with
honesty.
"We never had any problems but I understand that newspapers
are looking for stories. I was not surprised by the arrival of Cech
as he is a great goalkeeper who has won everything. I think any
coach would have taken at such a low price."
