Arsenal signs Cech



Arsenal have confirmed the signing of goalkeeper Petr Cech from Chelsea for around £10m.

The Czech international went on to establish himself as the club’s first-choice goalkeeper for a decade, setting Premier League records for the longest period without conceding a goal (between December 2004 and March 2005) and the fewest goals conceded in a season that same campaign, the latter of which still stands.

The 33-year-old, who made more than 400 appearances in 11 years for the Blues, decided to leave Stamford Bridge after losing his first-team spot to Thibaut Courtois.

He won four Premier League titles, the Champions League, Europa League, four FA Cups and three League Cup trophies with Chelsea.

Wenger speaking to the club's website: "“Petr Cech is a player that I have admired for a long time and I am very pleased that he has decided to join us."

“He has proven over many seasons that he is one of the outstanding 'keepers in the world and he will add great strength to our squad.”
