Chelsea 'won't stop Cech joining Gunners'

Arsenal have received a huge boost following speculation Chelsea won’t dictate which club Petr Cech can join in the summer.

The Czech international goalkeeper is expected to end his 11-year association with the Blues at the end of the season, after falling behind Thibaut Courtois in the pecking order.

Arsenal are among the clubs keen to snap up the 32-year-old, but previously looked unlikely to strike a deal with their Premier League rivals.

However, according to the Daily Mirror, Chelsea may now not decline Cech a move to the Gunners as long as their London counterparts stump up the £10m asking price.

However, the likes of Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain may yet attempt to have their say in proceedings, with Cech likely to be very much in demand.
