Wojciech Szczesny has admitted the chance to win trophies was behind his decision to quit Arsenal for Juventus.

Szczesny joined the Italian champions for a fee that could rise to £13.5million in the summer.

He lost his place at the Emirates following Petr Cech's arrival and has opened up on his decision to quit the club, reports Football.London.

"I came here because I need to win everything," Szczesny said.

"I chose Juventus for their winning mindset. Every day in training I feel stronger and more ready to play for this club.

"It seemed a normal choice to me, when Juve call you, you have to go.

"When you play for Juventus the goal is always to win everything, and it’s no different this year."

The 27-year-old, who will be Gianluigi Buffon's understudy this season at the Juventus Stadium, expects it to be an exciting race for the Serie A title.

"Scudetto rivals? There are a lot of strong teams, Napoli seem the most dangerous because of the quality of their play," he told Italia outlet Mediaset Premium .

"But there’s also Roma, and [Luciano] Spalletti’s Inter have started very well this season.

"We have to be ready to win every game, but with our mentality we will be."
