Report: Arsenal want Burnley goalkeeper Nick Pope as Petr Cech replacement

According to The Sun, Arsenal are keen on signing Burnley goalkeeper Nick Pope as the replacement for retiring Petr Cech.

The Czech legend announced that he will call time on his playing career at the end of the season, and the Gunners want a backup and competition for manager Unai Emery’s first-choice Bernd Leno.

They have identified Pope as a perfect option, and a £10million deal could be on the cards after Clarets boss Sean Dyche admitted the 26-year-old could be on his way out of Turf Moor after losing his place.

The England international was first-choice last term with Tom Heaton injured.
