Arsenal, Chelsea 'keen on ex-Reds keeper'

Arsenal and Chelsea are reportedly weighing up moves for former Liverpool goalkeeper Peter Gulacsi.

The 27-year-old was at Anfield for five years but spent most of his time out on loan and failed to make a senior appearance for the Reds before being sold on in 2013.

The Hungary international now plies his trade for RB Leipzig in the Bundesliga, where he serves as their first-choice stopper.

According to ESPN, Arsenal and Chelsea both had scouts watching Gulacsi in action as Leipzig lost 2-0 at Bayern Munich on Saturday evening.

The Gunners are hunting for a new long-term replacement for 35-year-old Petr Cech, while the Blues are beginning a tentative look around the market as they prepare for the potential loss of Thibaut Courtois to Real Madrid.

Gulacsi joined Leipzig for a fee of around £2.6m two years ago.
