Carlo Cudicini has revealed that Petr Cech will remain in England even if he leaves Chelsea because he wants to break the Premier League clean-sheet record.
The veteran is playing back-up to Thibaut Courtois at Stamford Bridge after the young Belgium was given the number-one jersey by Jose Mourinho ahead of the new season, and despite staying at the club, according to reports, he’s now ready to leave.
Cech stated his desire to fight for his place in the Summer, and since then, his agent has confirmed that he won’t be leaving in January, however, come the end of the season, he may look elsewhere with Arsenal, Liverpool and AS Roma all linked.
Cudicini, who spent most of his Chelsea career as an understudy to Cech, has admitted that if the Czech were to leave Chelsea, he would remain in England, alerting both Arsene Wenger and Brendan Rodgers.
The ex-Blue told talkSPORT: “Now we are four months into the season the decision the manager [Jose Mourinho] has taken to play Thibaut Courtois has [continued] and he’s doing all right.
“[Petr Cech] did a fantastic job for Chelsea for ten years and he didn’t put a foot wrong, now he finds himself on the bench and obviously he’s not happy.
“Is he going to move? I don’t know. I’m pretty sure he would love to stay in England. I think he has a record to beat [for the most Premier League clean sheets].
“There was speculation to Arsenal but I’m not sure. There are a lot of things to take into consideration.”
