Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger refuses to deny interest in Chelsea's Petr Cech

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has refused to deny that he is interested in signing Chelsea goalkeeper Petr Cech.

The North London outfit have been heavily linked with a summer move for the shot-stopper, who has fallen behind Thibaut Courtois in the pecking order at Stamford Bridge.

In this morning's press conference, Wenger deflected questions about Cech by speaking about his "world-class" goalkeepers.

The goalkeeping duties in the first team are currently shared between David Ospina and Wojciech Szczesny, but the latter has been linked with a move away from the Emirates.

When asked about Cech, Wenger told reporters: "We have world-class goalkeepers - we've got three. We are not interested in anybody at the moment."

Cech, who has been a Chelsea player for the last 11 years, has been given permission by Chelsea to speak to other clubs.
