One of the most pressing dilemmas Jose Mourinho faced at the beginning of the 2014-15 campaign was selecting his first-choice goalkeeper: Petr Cech or Thibaut Courtois. In typical controversial fashion, Mourinho opted for the younger stopper in Courtois, consequently shutting the Chelsea stalwart out of the starting eleven for the first time since joining the club in 2004. It's difficult to imagine a Champions League winner settling for a backup role in the prime of his career. And reports indicate Arsenal are ready to capitalise and table a £7million offer should Mourinho give the all clear for his long-serving keeper to move on. While Arsene Wenger is looking to beef up his fractured back line, Paris Saint-Germain, Roma, Real Madrid and Besiktas are all rumoured to be interested in the Czech. But what happens if Cech doesn't want to sit on the bench until next season? A January exit would leave only Mark Schwarzer to fill in for Thibaut Courtois should the 21-year-old become unavailable, meaning it's unlikely the Chelsea boss will allow his number-two to jump ship before the summer window. Probability: 6/10
