Finally, the goalkeeper commented on Leicester’s campaign in the Premier League.
“They’re an example and an inspiration to everyone”.
During the 2013-14 season, Szczesny won the Premier League Golden Glove award, which he jointly shared with then-Chelsea stopper Petr Cech. “It’s exciting to watch them play”.
Leicester are 13 points ahead of Arsenal after beating Sunderland on Sunday, as the Gunners let a 2-0 lead slip at West Ham in a 3-3 draw on Saturday.
Szczesny also spoke on his future with Arsenal, claiming that while he is now happy playing in the Serie A, he is unsure where his future may be. The 33-year-old has been Arsenal’s regular first choice in goal this season but Arsene Wenger has not been afraid to turn to his deputy David Ospina.
“I would like to be able to tell you about my future, but I don’t know what it holds for me”. For instance, all that Leicester City need to do is not to lose two games and draw another of their six remaining matches and the Gunners can do whatever they like and not affect the destination of the Premier League trophy in May.

Allardyce, who expects to pick from a fully fit squad with the exception of knee injury victim Duncan Watmore, hailed his opposite number Ranieri whom he believes is enjoying the best period of his long and illustrious coaching career. “Hopefully we can finish on a high and make sure we qualify”.
