Arsenal want to bring RB Leipzig goalkeeper Peter Gulacsi to the Premier League - but face competition from Chelsea, according to reports.

The 27-year-old stopper has been one of Leipzig's key men in the past couple of years as they have continued their incredible rise up the German footballing ladder.

ESPN report that both Arsenal and Chelsea had scouts watching Hungarian international Gulacsi during their 2-0 loss to Bayern Munich at the weekend.

It is also reported that Arsene Wenger is considering options to replace Petr Cech, who is entering the final 18 months of his contract at Arsenal.

Chelsea, meanwhile, fear that they might have lost Thibaut Courtois to Real Madrid.
