Former Arsenal goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny has called Paul Pogba 'one of the world's best players' ahead the Frenchman's potential return to Juventus this summer.
The World Cup winner announced he would be leaving Manchester United for a second time when his contract runs out on June 30 - ten years after originally leaving the Red Devils to join Juventus.
With rumours beginning to emerge over the Frenchman's next destination, Szczesny has taken it upon himself to talk up the midfielder ahead of the summer window.
According to The Sun, when asked if he and his team-mates would welcome the Frenchman's addition to the squad, Szczesny said: 'I'd be delighted to see that happen. He did brilliantly in his previous time at Juventus so he would be a great addition to the squad.
'He is a player with good calibre and experience and he has good memories from Turin.'
'Maybe over the last couple of years the consistency of his game and the injuries didn't help at United. But when he is fit, he is still one of the best in the world.'
The Italian giants had signed Pogba, also on a free, in 2012 when he failed to agree terms at Old Trafford before the Premier League side signed him back for £89m - only now to see him walk away without receiving a fee again.
Pogba moved back to Old Trafford in 2016 with the hope being that he could be the catalyst to take United back the summit of the Premier League.
But the Frenchman was unable to build on his impressive four Scuetto's, two Coppa Italia's and two Supercoppa Italiana's that he'd won in Italy - winning just one League Cup trophy during his six years at United.
Juventus are understood to be confident of making the deal happen, but if things fall through Paris Saint-Germain remain in the wings, with fellow European giants Real Madrid and Manchester City also said to have been previously interested.
Pogba will walk away with a £3.78million loyalty bonus when he quits Manchester as a free agent at the end of the month.

How is Poga a useless player?
How? Well let's see he walks around for the full 90 waiting for his teammates to do everything for him like when he's with France and Kante does all the running for him 😂, he dances with lingard after he loses a game which he done nothing in 😂 gets instructions of the manager then doesn't listen to them and plays where he wants so yea be good to see him in a easier league like the Italian league can look somewhat decent again 😂

He flopped. They payed so much for a player who didn’t live up to what he did at Juventus.
But he didn’t flop. How many goals and assists?
