Szczesny a 'top addition' for Barcelona, says Lewandowski

Barcelona announced a few days ago the arrival of Wojciech Szczesny, who has come out of retirement to replace Ter Stegen as the ‘Cules’ first choice goalkeeper after a serious knee injury ruled the German out for the remainder of the season. 

A key factor in convincing the former Juventus goalkeeper was Robert Lewandowski, who called his compatriot to try to facilitate negotiations between him and the Catalan club, as the new signing revealed in recent comments. 

In fact, this time it was the Polish striker who spoke publicly about Szczesny's move to Barcelona, something the former Bayern Munich striker considers a "top addition" and also highlighted his experience and strong personality. 

"Szczesny is a top addition for Barça. He knows exactly how to make others feel at ease and he’s great at supporting the younger players. His experience and strong personality are a real asset to the team," he said.
