Chelsea goalkeeper Petr Cech has said he won't settle for another season playing second fiddle to Thibaut Courtois.
The 32-year-old has made four Premier League starts this season - keeping four clean sheets - but has spent the majority of the campaign on the bench behind regular starter Courtois.
Cech has made 331 Premier League appearances for the Blues since joining in 2004 but has hinted at a Stamford Bridge exit later this year.
"I don’t know what the club’s idea will be. It looks like it works well with me and Thibaut as a duo," he told the Idnes newspaper.
"But that can work for one season only. I don’t want another one like this."
PFA Player of the Year - the nominees
The Chelsea goalkeeper has been linked with a summer move to Premier League rivals Arsenal and Spanish giants Real Madrid but says he won't decide on his future until the current season is over.
He added: "There always will be speculation, I leave it for the summer.
"It will be important to sit down with the club, with the manager, to consider all the pros and cons. We will see what will work out the best."
