Chelsea goalkeeper keen on Spain switch

Chelsea goalkeeper Petr Cech has admitted he would be interested in a move to Barcelona. The Czech international was a key member of the Stamford Bridge side that won back to back Premier League titles. He missed a large chunk of last season after suffering a fractured skull in a clash with Reading's Stephen Hunt, but battled his way back to full fitness. If Cech were to leave, it would be a huge loss to Blues boss Avram Grant who would need to recruit a world-class replacement.

Interest

Cech told a Czech website: "Can I imagine staying in England? That I cannot answer. "So far I have been very happy at Chelsea and I have started to love the Premier League. I have got used to life in London and my wife and I like it. "But in the case of Barcelona showing interest, yes, certainly it would be worth considering." Cech's agent Pavel Zika told MF Dnes: "Petr is absolutely happy at Chelsea, but if he was to change clubs in the future, then three or four of the most famous clubs would come into account. And Barcelona are among them."
