Chelsea are ready to offer Arsenal goalkeeper Petr Cech a role with them at the end of the season when he retires from football, Goal understands.
The 36-year-old announced that he will hang up his gloves at the end of the season after a glorious career which included 11 years at Chelsea - a period that was the most successful in the club's history.
The decision to bring back Cech would follow their strategy of wanting to recognise the contributions of some of their top former players by offering them roles when their playing careers come to an end.
