Arsenal goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny has been urged to leave North London this summer by compatriot Jerzy Dudek.
The Polish international has lost his first-team place at the Emirates to David Ospina and according to the former Liverpool goalkeeper, he should leave at the end of the season.
Szczesny has failed to regain his first-team spot after being dropped following a defeat to Southampton, where he was slammed for smoking in the showers.
Quoted in the Daily Mirror, Dudek believes Szczesny should now leave for the benefit of his career. He said:
“It’s a serious matter,”
“Fortunately, we have two other goalkeepers who are able to provide an adequate level in our goal.
“In excellent form is Lukasz Fabianski and, on the other hand, Artur Boruc is very experienced. I think [Adam] Nawalka [Poland manager] will wait to make the decision until the very end.
“Wojciech is the least likely to play in the match with Ireland. If I were in his place, I would wonder whether there are still opportunities to arise at Arsenal and wouldn’t wait as long as Fabianski, because you can see that Arsene Wenger is firmly set on David Ospina.”
