Petr Cech has NOT asked to leave Chelsea.

The 32-year-old has fallen behind Thibaut Courtois in the Stamford Bridge pecking order this season.

Reports this week have claimed Arsenal and AC Milan are set to battle it out in a bid to sign the veteran shot-stopper.

Calming influence: Cech

However, Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho insists he has received no offers for Cech and says the goalkeeper has asked to leave.

“On which Mickey Mouse website? On which Mickey Mouse blog?” Mourinho responded when asked about the reports. “Some websites don't even know where they get their stories. I have zero proposals for Petr Cech.

“Petr has a contract for two more years, he's a fantastic professional. Not once has he knocked on my door to inform me about his desire to accept some proposal.

Following suit: Could Cech follow Frank Lampard by leaving Chelsea?

“I promise you that what I’m telling you is the truth.”

Courtois last week admitted he would be seeking a Blues exit if he found himself confined largely to the bench in SW6 like Cech has this term.

The Belgian is set to continue between the sticks this Saturday as Chelsea entertain West Bromwich Albion.

“I know the number of matches we have,” Mourinho added. “We have lots, clearly. But the only game that matters is against West Brom. If we lose points, it's not complacency. It's football.

Still working hard: Cech in training

“It is a new phase of the season. The number of matches is so high. This is something I love.

"It's very difficult for the players and their bodies, but it's still a beautiful period. I look forward to this marathon.”
