WOJCIECH SZCZESNY is set to return for a second loan-spell at Roma – but this time with an option to sign permanently.
The Arsenal keeper, 26, spent last season at the Italian giants and impressed manager Luciano Spalletti.
According to Sky Sport Italia, both clubs are nearing an agreement to extend his stay.
Szczesny will be loaned out for the year and Roma will be given the option to buy in a £15million deal.
The goalie was called up to Poland’s Euro 2016 team this summer but kept out of the side with a muscular problem.
