AC Milan to rival Arsenal in chase for Chelsea goalkeeper Petr Cech
Posted Friday, November 21, 2014 by Dailystar.co.uk
AC MILAN are ready to offer Petr Cech an escape from his Chelsea frustration.
The Italian giants are set to rival Arsenal for £7m-rated goalkeeper Cech, 32, in January.
The San Siro outfit signed Spanish stopper Diego Lopez from Real Madrid in the summer.
But that hasn't stopped Milan, who already have Chelsea duo Fernando Torres and Marco Van Ginkel on loan, keeping tabs on Cech's situation at Stamford Bridge.
Cech has lost his status as the Blues no1 to Thibaut Courtois after a decade as undisputed first choice.
Despite starting the season confident he would regain it, Cech has been unable to dislodge Courtois.

He has made just five Blues appearances this season and only one in the league, when he came on as a sub against Arsenal.
Cech will now be in demand when the window reopens in January.
Mourinho wants Cech to stay and continue to provide world class competition for Courtois.
However he also accepts he will be powerless to stop Cech quitting if his patience finally snaps.
Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is a long term admirer of Cech and hoping Chelsea would be willing to do business with one of their London rivals.
Selling Cech abroad is likely to appeal to the Blues more.
