Chelsea lining up shock move for ex-Arsenal star?

Chelsea are reportedly planning a surprise move to sign former Arsenal goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny from Juventus.

The Blues currently have Kepa Arrizabalaga and Edouard Mendy as their regular goalkeepers, but both have been vulnerable with their handling.

Hence, the London giants are looking for a replacement in the transfer market and TuttoJuve claim that they could pursue the services of Szczesny.

The Pole has been with the Bianconeri for six seasons, but the club are open to cashing in on him after missing out on Champions League football.

The Bianconeri are prepared to sell him for around €10m. They are keen to get his €12m-a-year salary off their wage bill ahead of next season.

Chelsea could easily afford the 33-year-old, but the big question is whether the shot-stopper will consider a return to the Premier League.

Szczesny managed 181 appearances for the Gunners in all competitions. He may not entertain the prospect of playing for their London rivals next term.
