Wojciech Szczesny became surplus to requirements at Arsenal before he permanently left the club in 2017.
Petr Cech and David Ospina were first and second choice respectively under manger Arsene Wenger, who ended his 22-year spell in charge of the Gunners last week.
Szczesny began dropping out of the team in 2015 when he was sent on loan to Roma, where he spent two years before sealing a permanent switch away from Arsenal.
The 28-year-old moved from Rome to Turin in a transfer to Juventus, but he had to settle for a drop in the pecking order due to Gianluigi Buffon standing in his way.

Szczesny would have known that he had little chance of breaking through due to the legendary status of his teammate.
However, this week it was announced that Buffon will leave Juve following a 17-year stint with the Italian giants.
The nine-time title winner’s departure frees up the number one spot, and club chairman Andrea Agnelli has confirmed that Szczesny will be promoted to the top spot.
Arsenal fans reacted to the news on Reddit.
