Wojciech Tomasz Szcz\u0119sny (born 18 April 1990) is a Polish professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Serie A club Juventus and the Poland national team.
After starting his club career at Legia Warsaw, Szcz\u0119sny signed for Arsenal in January 2006, where he made his professional debut in 2009. After a spell on loan with Brentford the following season, he later became the capital club's first choice goalkeeper, winning two FA Cups and being the joint recipient of the 2013–14 Premier League Golden Glove with Petr Cech. He subsequently went on two consecutive season-long loans to Italian club Roma in 2015, where his performances earned him a move to reigning league champions Juventus in 2017. After serving mainly as a back-up to Gianluigi Buffon in his first season, during which he won a domestic double, he inherited the starting spot from the departed Buffon the following season, winning his second Serie A title; his performances also earned him a Yashin Trophy nomination in 2019. He won a third consecutive league title the following season, also winning the Serie A Best Goalkeeper Award.
At the international level, Szcz\u0119sny has earned over 60 caps for Poland since his debut in 2009, and was included in the nation's squad as it co-hosted UEFA Euro 2012, also later taking part at Euro 2016, the 2018 FIFA World Cup and Euro 2020.
During his time with Arsenal, Szcz\u0119sny earned a reputation as a tall, young, promising, and talented goalkeeper, who possessed significant athleticism, as well as strong reflexes, agility, shot-stopping abilities, distribution, and a good mentality, but who was also inconsistent; as such, he occasionally came under criticism in the media over technical mistakes or errors in judgement, in particular on crosses, and for his lack of development during his time with the club, as well as his lack of discipline off the pitch, including an incident in which he was reportedly fined by the club after being caught smoking in the showers<\/P>","E630D11720E4B295":"1","58D6F117B0E852FD":"195cm","249186B187931B83":"90kg","B13BBD17F9E21D375893DBD6F2FC7F72":"3","F8A44A36F46FF4E4":"Wojciech Szczesny","556D73B2C9A2AD6A1BFA53519B08D73A":"1","50F712C5D7EA2EE5C48850A5D641D459":"Arsenal","5B991257A722E1E0F74ECF7A8C1C2945":"","0FA2227E78AF1E09":"Wojciech Szczesny","07FC4394D7BF000AA5BFC85E2D0D6D63":"Poland","07457F0B881B82B22AE30767A70DD3E1":"
