Arsenal goalkeeper Petr Cech could make a sensational return to Chelsea should Thibaut Courtois depart the club.
The Czech international left Stamford Bridge for the Emirates Stadium in 2015, a year after Courtois was recalled from his loan at Atletico Madrid.
But with the Belgian now set for a move to Atletico’s city rivals Real Madrid, Sky Sports report that Cech has been lined up for a sensational and emotional comeback.
The 36-year-old won four Premier League titles in west London after signing for the Blues in 2004.
He enjoyed three years as Arsenal’s No.1 under Arsene Wenger, but now faces losing his place after new Gunners boss Unai Emery signed Bernd Leno from Bayer Leverkusen.
