Shay Given on Chelsea radar

Aston Villa goalkeeper Shay Given has emerged as a summer target for Chelsea, The Telegraph reports.

The Blues boss Jose Mourinho is aware of the fact that the lack of regular first-team football could force back-up keeper Petr Cech exit Stamford Bridge in the summer.

According to The Telegraph, the West London outfit will consider signing an experienced Premier League shot-stopper, should Cech elect to seek fresh pastures elsewhere.

The reports adds that Given is regarded as one of the club's targets, as his expertise could also help Belgian star Thibaut Courtois develop his game.

Tottenham Hotspur's Brad Friedel has also been associated with a move to the Premier League leaders.
