Petr Cech's agent has sent a come-and-get-my-client plea to Arsenal and Liverpool, though admitted it is unlikely the goalkeeper will quit Chelsea next month.
Cech has fallen behind Thibaut Courtois in the pecking order at Stamford Bridge and is frustrated at a lack of playing time after regularly warming the bench.
The Blues are loathe to lose the experienced custodian in January and Cech's agent has assured them such a situation is unlikely to happen, much to Jose Mourinho's delight.
But with Arsenal, Liverpool and Real Madrid all having been linked, Cech's long term future appears certain to lie away from Stamford Bridge. And speculation linking the custodian with the trio has now been addressed.

Cech's agent Viktor Kolar told Karel Haring from Czech daily Sport: "It's unlikely that Petr will leave Chelsea in the January transfer window. The club want to keep him.
"I think Arsenal should have made an offer to him. I think Petr would be considering it.
"Liverpool? They need to strengthen the position in goal. And they know Petr will be available in the summer.
"Real Madrid? We've been in contact, but they don't need a goalkeeper just now.
"But we will discuss it again in March", Kolar concluded.
It remains to be seen if any clubs will attempt to snatch Cech from Chelsea in the rapidly approaching winter transfer window.
