Goalkeeping coach hints Petr Cech wants to join Arsenal this summer

Coach hints Petr Cech wants Arsenal move

Chelsea goalkeeping coach Christophe Lollichon has suggested that Petr Cech is interested in moving to Arsenal this summer.

The 33-year-old is considering his future as he has dropped behind Thibaut Courtois in the pecking order at Stamford Bridge.

The Czech has admitted that he would prefer to stay in the Premier League, and Lollichon has echoed those claims.

"His family like England," Lollichon told French radio station RMC. "A player is happy when his family is happy. He wants to stay in England, but I don't know where are the discussions. The Premier League is his primary objective, but it will also depends on the conditions.

"The advantage is that Arsenal is a top club, with a philosophy that pleases him and that is in London. It is a base for consideration. I think that Manchester United like [Hugo] Lloris."

Ligue 1 giants Paris Saint-Germain are also believed to be keen on the shot-stopper as they are reportedly preparing a five-year contract offer worth £39m.
