Roma and Inter Milan have both reportedly joined the race to sign Chelsea goalkeeper Petr Cech.
The 32-year-old is expected to be allowed to leave Stamford Bridge this summer after Thibaut Courtois replaced him as Jose Mourinho's first-choice shot-stopper, and Arsenal have been repeatedly linked with a move for the Czech Republic international.
According to the Daily Mail, the Gunners will face a battle with the two Serie A clubs, with Inter boss Roberto Mancini keen to bring Cech to San Siro as he prepares for the exit of Samir Handanovic.
However, a lack of Champions League football could persuade Cech to decide against a move to Inter, which would hand a boost to Roma and Arsenal.
Cech is believed to be eager to keep his family in London.
