Chelsea lining up John Ruddy as Petr Cech replacement?

Chelsea have allegedly renewed their interest in Norwich City and England goalkeeper John Ruddy.

The newly-crowned Premier League champions are lining up the former Everton stopper as a potential replacement for Petr Cech, reports the Daily Star.

Cech is expected to leave the club at the end of the season in search of first-team football, with Arsenal, Liverpool and Besiktas tipped as potential destinations.

Blues boss Jose Mourinho attempted to sign Ruddy two summers ago, but the Canaries rejected an offer of £5m.
