Chelsea veteran Cech prefers London stay as Arsenal links continue

Petr Cech wants to stay put in London according to reports regarding his future.


The 33-year old goalkeeper continues to be heavily linked with a move away from Stamford Bridge this summer after falling behind talented Belgian gloveman Thibaut Courtois.

According to Sky Sports, Cech fancies to move to a club in London because he does not want to uproot his family who are settled in the English capital.

That has further opened the door to a summer shift to Arsenal who have been linked with the Czech Republic international for months.

Gunners boss Arsene Wenger is eyeing a quality shot-stopper this off-season and could go after Cech but a lot will depend on the player's meeting with the Premier League champions on Monday to decide a transfer fee as well as giving him permission to join a top-four rival.
