Petr Cech plays down Arsenal link

Petr Cech says that he "can't even imagine" playing for Arsenal after being linked with leaving Chelsea.

Chelsea goalkeeper Petr Cech has denied rumours that he could join Arsenal in a shock deal this summer.

Reports had linked the Czech Republic international to the Emirates Stadium, with the Gunners thought to be keen on adding an experienced stopper to their ranks.

However, Cech has rubbished the speculation saying that he "can't even imagine" playing for the Blues' London rivals.

"It is an interesting piece of news but it is such speculation that I think it's not even necessary to comment on it," Cech told isport.blesk.cz. "I know of nothing, nobody has contacted me and, to be honest, I can't even imagine it.

"I don't even normally notice such rumours. But when it does get to me, I naturally look at it to know what to say about it later.

"There are players who do read newspapers. Some players read match reports to know what was written about them and where. I don't do this, I don't read newspapers because of such things. I don't take rumours like this seriously."

Cech moved to Stamford Bridge in 2004 in a £7m deal from Rennes.
