Arsenal are reportedly preparing a move for Chelsea goalkeeper coach Christophe Lollichon ahead of a major reshuffle in the coaching staff once the season comes to a close, Daily Mirror reports.
The North London side are not only looking for a new goalkeeping coach, but also a new Director of Football for the upcoming campaign.
Lollichon has been a coach at Chelsea since 2004, as he moved to the club alongside Petr Cech, who now represents the Gunners.
The former Blues shot-stopper is a huge fan of Lollichon, who also worked with him at Rennes before making a switch to Chelsea, and it’s believed to be his request to target exactly him for the new goalkeeping coach’s role.
Arsenal would like to pair Lollichon up with their current goalkeeping coach Gerry Peyton.
Chelsea’s current number one goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois was rumoured to be keen on the club recruiting a new goalkeeping coach earlier this season following a quarrel with Lollichon.
