  Chelsea chasing £15m keeper Krul to replace Cech next season

   

  

  Safe hands: Newcastle United goalkeeper Tim Krul is wanted by Chelsea

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

  Chelsea are lining up a £15million move for Newcastle United goalkeeper Tim Krul this summer to usher in a new era at Stamford Bridge.

  Roman Abramovich has agreed to bankroll a big-money offer for the 24-year-old Dutchman after growing concerns at Chelsea over the form of Petr Cech.

  Chelsea's determination to land Krul on £90,000-a-week wages has knocked Sunday's FA Cup semi-final opponents Tottenham out of the race for the highly rated keeper.

  Spurs will now look abroad to find a No 1 to compete with veteran Brad Friedel next season.

   

  

  Replacement: Chelsea are looking to bring in a replacement for Petr Cech

   

   

  Newcastle United, who are competing for a Champions League spot, tied up Krul to a long-term deal earlier this year but owner Mike Ashley prides himself on being an 'expensive seller' and will not stand in Krul's way at the right price for the club.

  Cech has been 'ordinary' since his head injury.
