99% Done – £125k-A-Week UCL Winner's Chelsea Transfer Almost Done

Even though the special one says the Czech international won’t be heading to Arsenal by summer, the shot stopper has said he is 99% sure that he is headed to the Emirates. The goalie has been linked with a move away from the club after having lost the starting berth to Courtois at the beginning of the new season. Although earlier in the season, he claimed he would stay on to fight for his place, but after having appeared just 6 times in the league this season, a move away continue to look more imminent as we approach the summer transfer window.

Roman Abramovic, in appreciation of Cech’s services over the last 11 years at Chelsea, has given him a go-ahead to choose any club he wishes to go. Hence the Mourinho hurdle, which looked to bar him from moving to a rival club, has been scaled. In a deal that will cost 10 million pounds, the 32 year-old’s wages is at 125,000 pounds weekly, and there are reports that the Gunners look ready to meet these demands. Seems Henry’s criticism declaring that Arsenal needs a world-class keeper and players to win trophies, has gotten to the French coach, and he is likely ready to buy big in July.

The veteran who has also held talks with Turkish League side, Besiktas says Arsenal is still his preference, as his family is also settled in London after all the years. Cech kept 5 clean sheets out of 6 in the EPL, and he is still fit for first team action. It has also been said that Manchester United are also interested in his services, after it has been confirmed that De Gea is out of Old Trafford and headed to Real Madrid, but it doesn’t seem they will win the race for Cech’s signature as Arsenal’s earlier interest seem to have sealed a place in his heart towards the Emirates.
