Liverpool have been encouraged to bid for Petr Cech while he would also consider a move to Arsenal, according to the Chelsea goalkeeper's agent.

The experienced Czech international has been forced to play second fiddle to Thibaut Courtois since the Belgian was recalled from his loan spell at Atletico Madrid in the summer.

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho insists Cech will not move in the upcoming January window, a view shared by the 32-year-old's agent Viktor Kolar who believes Arsenal missed the boat by not bidding in the summer.

"It's unlikely Petr will leave Chelsea in the January transfer window. The club and coach want to keep him to help win the title," Kolar told Czech newspaper Sport.

"I think Arsenal should have made an offer to him. I think Petr would be considering it.

"Liverpool need to strengthen their position in goal and they know Petr will be available in the summer."
