Petr Cech’s request to be granted? As Chelsea keen to land Cech’s favorite target
Chelsea chief Petr Cech is reportedly pushing the club to sign Werder Bremen goalkeeper Jiri Pavlenka.
The 29 year old goalkeeper impressed for Czech Republic at the Euro 2020 and Cech believes he will be a good addition to the Chelsea squad.
At it was Petr Cech, who works as a technical advisor with the Blues, who recommended the club to sign his compatriot.
The German side want to sell the keeper as they are in financial dire straits after getting relegated to the 2. Bundesliga. Pavlenka is said to be available for €3m.
This is according to media outlet Deichstube via TribalFootball.
Chelsea are interested in recruiting another goalkeeper this summer, to compete with current No1 Edouard Mendy.
Willy Caballero was released by the Blues last month after four years at the club while Kepa Arrizabalaga could leave Chelsea for first-team football – if the Blues find a suitor.
Pavlenka’s stats for Werder:
155 games
235 goals conceded
33 clean sheets
