“This is an incredible team, a team which is always on the pitch to win,” Szczesny explained.

“That doesn’t just mean a game, but every trophy. That’s what brought me here, I want to win trophies. I want to be a champion so I’m here and I’m ready to go.

“Was Buffon’s presence a factor? Yes, yes because I want to improve so there’s no better opportunity to do that than training with Gianluigi Buffon.

“He’s one of the best, or the best, goalkeepers in history, not just the history of Italian football but football all over the world.

“Now I have the opportunity to train with him, I want to improve and learn from him.

“I’m not finished, I’m a goalkeeper who always wants to improve. I’m an explosive, I like to make these saves which seem impossible.

“I still have to improve in terms of consistency though, because I want to be a goalkeeper on Buffon’s level, or at least close.

“You have to reach that level in every game, not just in two or three games per season. So I have to improve.”
