Stoke City goalkeeper Asmir Begovic has emerged as Chelsea's ideal candidate to replace Petr Cech. The Telegraph reports that it might, however, be difficult to convince the 27-year-old stopper that deputising for first choice Thibaut Courtois is in his interest. Begovic will be offered a significant increase on his current wage to join the Stamford Bridge club, but overseas clubs who can offer Begovic first team football might pip them to his signature.
