Arsenal have been told to bid for Chelsea number two Petr Cech, from his agent of all people. This has been reported in the Daily Express today and it is understood his agent has also told Liverpool the same.

Cech's agent Viktor Kolar said:

 "It's unlikely Petr will leave Chelsea in the January transfer window.

"The club and coach want to keep him to help win the title.

I think Arsenal should have made an offer to him. I think Petr would be considering it.

Arsenal are continually linked to goalkeepers every transfer window and it is evident they need one to push Szchesny David Ospina was signed to do this but Ospina has had a few niggling injuries which has restricted him challenging.

As a result Emi Martinez has had to play a series of games when Szchesny has not been available. Although, Martinez played reasonably well, it looks like Wenger wants a more experienced back up.

However, let’s end this rumour now, Cech plays for Chelsea under Mourinho who looks after himself. This would never happen as Mourinho will class Arsenal as rivals for the title, this was seen when he wouldn’t let Arsenal loan Demba Ba. I repeat Mourinho will not strengthen a rival.

Cech would be a good buy but personally, I cannot see Mourinho letting Cech leave to Arsenal unless he does not consider Arsenal a title rival anymore, for example, Juan Mata to Manchester United a couple of years ago.
