Arsenal are to approach Chelsea for Petr Cech.

The Daily Mail says Arsenal believe Cech will be allowed to join them in the summer if the Chelsea goalkeeper insists that he wants to make the move.

With Cech unwilling to play another season as No 2 to Thibaut Courtois, Arsenal are ready to enquire about bringing him to the Emirates.

Though Chelsea would be reluctant to let Cech to join one of their main title rivals, his status and his close relationship with owner Roman Abramovich means Arsenal believe he would be allowed to leave on his terms.
