Arsenal news: Wojciech Szczesny slams ‘extremely arrogant’ Robin van Persie and says Samir Nasri thought he was a ‘gansgster’
Former Arsenal goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny has described Robin van Persie as ‘extremely arrogant’ while also sharing his feelings on Samir Nasri and Alexander Hleb in a wide ranging interview.Szczesny spent eight seasons with the Gunners, before leaving permanently for Juventus in 2017, while Van Persie swapped the Emirates for Old Trafford to join Manchester United in 2012.2

Szczesny has labelled Van Persie as ‘arrogant’

Despite the Dutchman contributing significantly to United winning the Premier League in his debut season, by finishing on 26 goals to earn the Golden Boot, Szczesny felt the striker, who now plays for Feyenoord in his native Holland, would have achieved more had he stayed with Arsenal.“He could have made other decisions and achieved lots more at Arsenal,” he told Foot Truck.“He’s extremely arrogant sometimes. “I have to admit, he left for Manchester United and the following year won a title.“However after that, he got benched, moved to Turkey and his big career ended.”2

The goalkeeper said Nasri thought he was a ‘gangster’

The Poland international also did not hold back when speaking of Arsenal’s ex-midfield pair Nasri and Hleb.Szczesny said: “Nasri always thought he was some kind of gangster.“Everyone has this guy at school, who had strong and big friends and it made him think he was cool.”
