The end of an era is almost here, Petr Cech’s Chelsea career is almost over. Despite still being only 33-years-old and being in his prime, the Czech goalkeeper will move from the Stamford Bridge club after more than a decade in the blue of Chelsea. Cech would be moving to another Premier League club, most probably Arsenal in search of more regular football, after being replaced at Chelsea for Thibaut Courtois.
With Cech leaving, Chelsea would require a decent backup to Courtois, someone who would not mind sitting on the bench but can still step up in the chances provided to him. Chelsea have always done well in the transfer window and we single out three goalkeepers who would be ideal as an understudy for Courtois this season.
1. Robert Green
The 35-year-old couldn’t keep a rather poor QPR side in the Premier League last season and was relegated to the Championship but he was one of the few players who gave it all for the club, every game. Green, a former England international has fallen out of favour in the national setup since the 2014 world cup but he is still good in most games.
QPR wouldn’t be able to hold onto the goalkeeper if Chelsea make a serious move for him and he wouldn’t be very expensive either. Green would be a great choice as a second goalkeeper for Chelsea and is a proven Premier League player.
