Chelsea, Arsenal post scouts to watch Liverpool reject Gulacsi

Chelsea are eyeing RB Leipzig goalkeeper Peter Gulacsi.

The former Liverpool keeper has been outstanding for RBL this season- his third with the Germans.

ESPN says both Chelsea and Arsenal sent scouts to watch the Hungarian international in action during the 2-0 loss against Bayern Munich on Saturday.

The report states that Arsene Wenger is already looking at replacements for current No 1 Petr Cech.

Chelsea see him as a potential successor for Thibaut Courtois in the event he leaves at the end of the season for Real Madrid.

Gulacsi's agent James Lippett told The Sun last week, “We stay very calm about speculation, it's normal when players are playing well, other teams will be interested in them.

“Peter is playing very well and has established himself as one of the most reliable goalkeepers in the Bundesliga.

“He's a fantastic keeper with a top class mentality, Leipzig showed a lot of faith in Peter to make him part of their ambitious project.

“And so far it has been a successful relationship for both the player and the club."
