Arsenal have signed a potential replacement for Petr Cech.
Big decisions are coming at Arsenal after the signing of goalkeeper Bernd Leno was confirmed yesterday.
David Ospina could continue as back-up, witht the biggest question emerging over veteran Petr Cech.
Rivals Liverpool should be sitting up to take notice.
The Reds have big problems in goal, needing a replacement for Champions League final disaster Loris Karius.
Their ambitions to sign Alisson or Jan Oblak appear to be going nowhere, and Petr Cech’s potential availability could be precisely what they need.
Leno’s arrival opens the door for an exit for Cech, who has no distinct loyalty to the Gunners, having spent his earlier years at Chelsea.
A move to Liverpool would give Cech a better chance of silverware late in his career, and he may be the missing piece in Jurgen Klopp’s jigsaw.
Cech is 36, and not the goalkeeper who set records at Chelsea.
There is a reason Arsenal have signed Leno, as they believe a fresh approach is needed.
He is still a big upgrade on Loris Karius, has a winner’s mentality, and can inspire a re-emerging Liverpool defence as a short term option for a couple of seasons.
It would be a dramatic move, and could be just what Cech needs too.
