Roma consider shock move for Arsenal veteran

 

Roma have earmarked Arsenal veteran Petr Cech as a potential replacement for Alisson, claims The Sun.

 

The Serie A giants are on the market for a new goalkeeper after selling Alisson to Liverpool in a world record £67m deal.

 

Alisson has developed into one of the best goalkeepers in the world over the last 12 months and his successor will have big gloves to fill.

 

Rather than looking to spend most of the money made from his departure on a replacement, Roma are reportedly pondering a move for veteran Premier League goalkeeper Cech.

 

The 36-year-old has been linked with a sensational return to Chelsea this summer in the wake of Arsenal’s decision to sign Berd Leno from Bayer Leverkusen.

Cech’s form has tailed off dramatically over the last two years and faces the prospect of sitting on the bench at Arsenal next season.

 

The former Czech Republic international reportedly turned down an advance from Napoli earlier this summer and now it has emerged their Serie A rivals, Roma, are willing to try their luck.

 

Cech committed the most errors that directly led to an opposition goal in the Premier League last season (six).
