Arsenal face stiff challenge to sign Petr Cech

Arsenal in three-way fight for Cech

Italian sides Roma and Inter Milan have become the latest clubs to be interested in signing up Chelsea's back-up keeper Petr Cech.



The Czech international has struggled for game-time this season, with manager Jose Mourinho favouring young prodigy Thibaut Courtois ahead of him in the pecking order.

The Mail reports that the Gunners will face a battle with the two Serie A giants, with the Nerazzurri boss Roberto Mancini keen to sign the former Rennes star as a replacement for outbound Samir Handanovic.

However, it is still believed that Cech could still favour a switch to the Emirates, given his desire to keep his family in London.
