It was not difficult to read between the lines. Leaving aside the question of whether Mourinho would really maintain such a generous stance when it comes to the crunch this summer, it leaves the ball firmly in Wenger’s court. Will he keep faith in Wojciech Szczesny and David Ospina? Or does he match Chelsea’s asking price and then try to convince Cech? The London location allied to the wider potential in the squad will surely make Arsenal a most attractive proposition. From Wenger’s side, the arrival of an experienced new goalkeeper would clearly also put a few noses out of joint. But that is not necessarily such a bad thing. Cech would be likely to want his goalkeeping coach, Christophe Lollichon, to follow in some sort of capacity. Wenger will probably also consider whether it would be unfair to his current goalkeepers. It would arguably be unfair on Ospina but it would probably actually help Szczesny. His only consideration should be whether it would help Arsenal win the Premier League again, and the wider impact could be transformative.
