Petr Cech transfer latest: Arsenal keeper yet to receive Chelsea offer, according to his agent

Petr Cech has yet to receive an offer from Chelsea ahead of a potentially emotional return to Stamford Bridge, according to his agent.

Arsenal keeper Cech is facing a fight to keep his No.1 jersey at the Emirates after Bernd Leno was brought in for £19million by new boss Unai Emery.

Their could be a space opening up in the Blues’ goal, with Thibaut Courtois closing in on a move to Real Madrid and Maurizio Sarri missing out on hot property Alisson to Liverpool.

The Gunners are unlikely to want to sell the four time Premier League winner, with former No.2 David Ospina more likely to depart north London this summer.

Agent Viktor Kolar has also watered down the rumours by insisting his Czech client is fully focused on his Gunners future.

“It is always busy during every transfer window around Petr Cech, as a great Premier League person.

“However, he maximally focuses on the new season at Arsenal, no specific offer is available,” Kolar told ESPN.

Cech is expected to travel to Singapore for the Gunners’ pre-season tour this weekend – with friendlies scheduled against Atletico Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain.

Emery insisted last week that he is yet to decide on his first choice keeper.

“I want to work with Petr Cech, with Bernd Leno, with Emiliano Martinez, with Matt Macey, with Ospina,” Emery said.

“It’s clear that we have [a lot] of goalkeepers but we want to work in the future with three goalkeepers in the first team.

“Now, I want to look, I want to work every day with all the goalkeepers and then I am going to decide for [who is No 1].
