Good Gossip

            This is a big shout from the Daily Mail, who claim that 'Petr Cech is the surprise name on Arsenal's six-man shortlist to replace goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny next season. Pepe Reina, Asmir Begovic, Victor Valdes, Rene Adler and Michel Vorm are the other names on the Daily Mail's version of the shortlist, though we suspect that reports in the Daily Telegraph that Begovic's asking price is in the £15m bracket could see his name knocked off the list.There's a theory here that Thibault Courtois will replace Cech at Chelsea next season and that he will move across London to Arsenal. Now that would be exciting. And almost entirely implausible.But De Laurentiis insists the 26-year-old will not be leaving Napoli unless the club receives a huge bid for the player.We included a very high buy-out clause in his contract as we want him to stay," said De Laurentiis, quoted in The Sun. "But if some nutter is willing to pay £60m, which would mean a net fee of £54m for Napoli, we are ready to listen to the offer.
