After being nudged out by Thibaut Courtois last summer, Petr Cech is apparently now found on the lookout for employers in a bid to revive his career and Arsenal are known to have shown interest in bringing the veteran across London to Emirates Stadium this summer.
The 33-year-old has also expressed his desire to stay in the England capital citing family reasons, but recent reports suggest that he may be forced to prioritize money as Paris Saint-Germain are readying a sensational £150,000-a-week contract in an attempt to lure him to Parc des Princes.
However, his coach Christophe Lollichon claimed that the Czech Republic international had already set his sights on a cross-city move given the philosophy of the Gunners, let alone their reputation as he believes that he can still perform at a very high level.
"I think he still has three or four excellent seasons in him. His family likes England and a player is happy when his family is happy. He wants to stay in England, but I don't know where the discussions are.
The Premier League is his primary objective, but it will also depend on the conditions. The advantage is that Arsenal is a top club, with a philosophy that pleases him and that is at London. It is a base for consideration."
Arsenal currently have Wojciech Szczesny and David Ospina battling it out for the number one spot and the arrival of the Chelsea goalkeeper may solve the professional dispute between the duo as they can be expected to have a comradely chat on the bench as Petr Cech guards the Arsenal goal.
Jose Mourinho does not seem to be interested in letting the former Stade Renner shot-stopper join the Gunners as he vetoes the decision of Roman Abramovich to allow the goalkeeper to choose his team for the next season and he can be expected to cause all sorts of troubles to prevent the transfer from coming to fruition.
