Theo Walcott Player Profile

Chelsea are planning a summer move for Arsenal man Theo Walcott.

The winger is coming towards the last year of his contract and has been linked with a switch to Liverpool.

But, with Mourinho always on the look out for more English players, Walcott's situation has taken his fancy.

And the Times claim the Portuguse is preparing a summer move for the 26-year-old if the contract dispute isn't solved.

Arsenal have been told to sign Petr Cech - by former Chelsea keeper Carlo Cudicini.

The ex-blues star said: “Arsenal have had a few problems with goalkeepers after [David] Seaman and [Jens] Lehmann.

"[Wojciech] Szczesny is still struggling to impose himself as number one, so if a goalkeeper like Petr Cech is available in the summer, obviously he should be a big target for Arsenal.”

Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal has been on a scouting mission in Amsterdam.

Van Gaal, along with Frans Hoek, Marcel Bout and Jos van Dijk, were in attendance as Holland beat Spain.

The United men were running the rule over a number of targets including Memphis Depay.
