Norwich keeper could make the move to the capital
Chelsea are to turn their attentions to Norwich City goalkeeper John Ruddy, should Petr Cech depart Stamford Bridge.
Cech, has been tipped to leave the West-Londoners after eleven-years, having lost his place to Thibaut Courtois in Chelsea’s starting side.
One possible destination for the 32-year-old Cech is to Turkish side Besiktas, and his agent has claimed that the Istanbul outfit have made contact over his availability.
Cech’s agent Viktor Kolar said: “I have been in contact with Besiktas. Their officials contacted me, and we are in talks.
“Turkey is a choice for Cech. But we will make a decision once the league season is over.”
CHELSEA MOVE FOR CANARIES KEEPER?
Ruddy, aged 28, has become a pivotal member of Norwich’s squad since signing for them on a permanent deal in 2010.
And the long-term future of the keeper may be decided upon if the Norfolk-based club get promoted back to the Premier League, following a year hiatus.
Alex Neil’s Canaries face bitter-rivals Ipswich Town in the second leg of the play-off semi-final at Carrow Road on Saturday, with the derby against the Tractor Boys poised at 1-1.
Ruddy has been an ever-present in-between the sticks for Norwich this season, and has made 48 appearances.
