Petr Cech's much-anticipated move to Arsenal has suffered a setback as his goalkeeping coach today suggested he would not be allowed to leave Chelsea.

Christophe Lollichon says there has been no contact between the two clubs over whether he will follow the Czech international across London to Emirates Stadium but believes the Blues would not sanction his departure if the Gunners sought his services.

Lollichon followed Cech to Stamford Bridge from Rennes and the goalkeeper is thought to prefer continuing to work with the same goalkeeping coach at his next club.

Cech had his medical at Arsenal on Friday and is expected to complete his £11m switch from Chelsea early next week, but it looks like the deal will go through without confirmation Lollichon will be next through the door.

"For now, it does not matter. No contact has been made," Lollichon told L'Equipe.

"I do not know if this has been discussed between the two clubs, but I do not think Chelsea will be favourable."
