Petr Cech's agent reportedly claims that the goalkeeper is ready to leave Chelsea, with Arsenal, Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain keen on signing him.

Petr Cech's agent has reportedly declared that the goalkeeper is ready to end his 11-year stay with Chelsea.

The Czech, who turns 33 tomorrow, has started just 14 games in all competitions for the Blues this season after Thibaut Courtois returned from his loan at Atletico Madrid to become number one under Jose Mourinho.

He has kept more clean sheets than any keeper in the club's history, but now wants to move on so that he can again play regular first-team football at a high level.

Cech's agent Viktor Kolar told the Evening Standard that some of Chelsea's rivals both in England and across Europe were interested in signing him.

"Arsenal, [Manchester] United or PSG are all top clubs and Petr would like to join one of them - definitely," said Kolar.

"Petr expects that [Chelsea owner] Roman Abramovich, not Mourinho, will decide about his future, based on their mutual agreement from last year."

Cech has a year remaining on his contract at Stamford Bridge. During his time as a Blue, he has won the Champions League once, Premier League four times, Europa League once, FA Cup four times and League Cup three times.
