Arsenal preparing bid for Morgan Scheiderlin and Petr Cech

Arsenal  are preparing £35million double transfer  swoop for Chelsea goalkeeper Petr Cech and Southampton star Morgan Scheiderlin.

Gunners boss Wenger is targeting three big signings which proves he is thinking of the long term future and is determined to compete with Chelsea and Manchester City.

Southampton's Morgan Schneiderlin is top of their midfield wish list while they also want an experienced top class keeper and a new centre half.

They are weighing up a move for Petr Cech if Chelsea are prepared to sell to a direct rival as they look for a new No1.

Cech, 32, could be open to a move to get more regular first team football and Arsenal would offer him the chance to stay in London.
