Cech linked with Roma switch

Cech has become an out-of-favour keeper at Stamford Bridge this season as manager Jose Mourinho favours Belgian star Thibuat Courtois.

Courtois made a return to Chelsea after spending three seasons on loan at Atletico Madrid where he won the La Liga title, and has now become first choice with the Blues, keeping veteran Petr Cech sidelined.

The 32 year-old has served 10 years with the club relatively unchallenged for the number one spot but it is reported that he is now becoming frustrated with his lack of playing time.

According to reports made in Italy, Roma are currently in talks with Chelsea over the possible January transfer of Cech.

The Serie A giants are currently looking for a replacement goalkeeper for retiring shot-stopper Morgan De Sanctis, who turns 38 in March.

If the deal manages to materialise, then the Czech will re-join former team-mate Ashley Cole, who made his switch to the Stadio Olympico during the summer after his contract with the Blues expired.

Cech has featured just twice for the Blues this season, starting in the club’s Capital One Cup game victory over Bolton and coming on for the injured Courtois in the Blues’ 2-0 victory over Arsenal last weekend.
