Chelsea goalkeeper Petr Cech has claimed that he would welcome Wayne Rooney with open arms if the Manchester United striker decides to make a switch.

Wayne Rooney has been linked to a number of clubs including Chelsea, Arsenal and Paris Saint-Germain following Sir Alex’s announcement that the striker has asked to leave the club for a second time in less than three years.Cech is quoted by Sky Sports as saying: “I could see him in a Chelsea shirt. Players can change shirts and obviously he had a fantastic career with Manchester United and sometimes players need new challenges.

“Sometimes the consequences are the way that you are looking for the new challenge and change of the shirt.“So if that happened, obviously he is a fantastic player and he will be welcome to our squad but now we are only in the moment of speculations about it so we will see what this week will bring.

“He’s a great player and you always want to see great players in your team.”When asked about the possible move of Edinson Cavani to Chelsea, he said: “I could see anybody in a Chelsea shirt, it depends if Jose Mourinho wants to see those players in the Chelsea shirt.

“So I believe that he has his own ideas about the team, he knows exactly what he wants in the team. And as I said, now the transfer window opens and we will see what will be the movement in our squad in reality.”

Cech also said that he is confident that their team is capable of winning all the titles under Jose Mourinho.

He told The Sun: “In the last two years we had a lot of changes in the team, we changed a lot of managers, and the players we brought in are quite young.

“Among these players there is the experience of winning the Premier League, Europa League, FA Cup and Champions League.

“We will have more improved players than they were two years ago. They have better experience and they know how to win things.

“Now we’ve got a manager who has won it all at a variety of clubs. Overall we have a good potential to challenge everyone and I believe we can do it.”
