Arsenal 'slap £15m price tag on Wojciech Szczesny'

Arsenal have reportedly told Roma that they will have to part with £15m to secure the services of goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny on a permanent deal.

The Serie A club were interested in signing the stopper following a loan spell, but may have been deterred by his asking price, according to Gazzetta dello Sport.

Szczesny has made 42 appearances and kept nine clean sheets for Roma this term, with previous reports suggesting that the Poland international is keen to stay in Italy.

It has also been reported that Roma are willing to pay no more than £10m for his services, although another loan deal for a further season is said to be a possibility.

Inter Milan goalkeeper Alisson has also been linked with a move to Roma.
