Arsenal reject swap deal for Petr Cech
Arsenal have swiftly rejected a swap deal from Chelsea for goalkeeper Petr Cech, The Mirror reports.
It was earlier revealed that Blues boss Jose Mourinho will look to sign one of Arsenal's young prospects, should they show the desire to sign Cech this summer.
According to The Mirror, Mourinho was willing to offer Cech to the Gunners, provided they agree on a straight swap deal with midfielder Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain moving the other way.
However, Gunners manager Arsene Wenger has dismissed the offer, and is hopeful of sealing the Czech international's signature for a £10m transfer fee.
Cech joined Chelsea from Rennes in 2004.
