5 possible replacements for Petr Cech

#1 Jack Butland (Stoke City)

Stoke City v Burnley - Premier League
Arsenal's best bet

Stoke City's Jack Butland will be Arsenal's best bet to replace Petr Cech. His exposure in the Premier League, lower market value and Stoke's possible relegation are all key points that come into the picture, making Butland a highly probable option.

A Birmingham City academy graduate, Butland made the switch to Stoke City in 2013. He struggled initially to become a regular and had to go on loan spells. He became their no.1 ahead of the 2015-16 season and has established himself as one of the league's best.

He has made 83 appearances for Stoke and is also in contention to start for the England National team at the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia. There have also been rumours about possible interest from Arsenal.

A very agile and excellent shot-stopper, Butland is accustomed to the ferocity of the Premier League and can prove to be the perfect replacement for Cech. He is still only 25 years old, meaning we are yet to see the best he has to offer.
