Chelsea interested in shock deal to re-sign Cech from Arsenal

Chelsea are interested in re-signing Petr Cech from Arsenal just three years after he made the move across London, claims Sky Sports.

Thibaut Courtois is closing in on a move to Real Madrid but Chelsea won’t sign off on a deal until they have his replacement lined up.

Maurizio Sarri’s side have been heavily linked with a move for Roma ace Alisson but appear to have lost significant ground on a deal to rivals Liverpool.

Reports have now emerged claiming Chelsea are weighing up a move for one of two Premier League goalkeepers, with Cech one of them.

The 36-year-old left Chelsea to join Arsenal in 2015 but the veteran goalkeeper has looked a shadow of his former self at the Emirates.

New Arsenal manager Unai Emery has addressed the goalkeeping position for next season by signing Bayer Leverkusen shot-stopper Bernd Leno.

Returning to Chelsea would likely appeal to Cech but it remains to be seen whether he would sufficiently replace Courtois.

Chelsea are also weighing up a move for Leicester goalkeeper Schmeichel, who enjoyed a sensational 2018 World Cup campaign for Denmark.

The 31-year-old didn’t enjoy the best of seasons last term but rediscovered his best form in Russia this summer.

Leicester will not want to lose their first-choice goalkeeper and have reportedly slapped a price tag in excess of £50m on his head.

Cech committed the most errors that led to an opposition goal in the Premier League last season (6).
