Petr Cech may be one of the greatest goalkeepers of the modern generation. However at the same time, he is well-past his peak as has been shown through his performances for Arsenal this season.
The 35-year-old has committed numerous errors which have cost the team valuable points and also which has been a cause of frustration to fans.
While Arsene Wenger has used Cech for Premier League games this season, he has reserved David Ospina as his first-choice keeper in Cup tournaments.
This is not an ideal position to be in as their should ideally be a first-choice keeper who represents the keeper in both Cup and League matches.
Cech is past his peak and it is perhaps about time that Arsenal start searching for a new shot-stopper.
It looks doubtful that Ospina will take over as number one. Despite Cech making a series of errors, he has never been promoted to being League starter and this is surely a sign that the club does not have faith in his abilities. Arsenal will likely have to look for a new keeper.
Below are options that they can consider.
1Jack Butland
Butland is currently one of the top English goalkeepers and is vying for the England national team first choice position given that Joe Hart is now likely to be demoted given that he is now second-choice keeper at West Ham.
If Stoke do end up getting relegated at the end of the season, leaving the Potters will surely be a no-brainer for Butland and given the quality that he has shown throughout the years, he will surely be attracting interest from top Premier League sides.
Arsenal should go for david luiz and kroos
