The Czech Republic shot-stopper has moved to the Emirates for an
undisclosed fee.
The 33-year-old made more than 400 appearances during 11 years
at Stamford Bridge, winning the Premier League title four times,
the FA Cup four times, the League Cup three times and the
Champions League once.
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger said: “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.”
“I’m really excited about joining Arsenal Football Club and can't
wait to join up for pre-season," Cech said. "I have the same
commitment to football, the same motivation and the same hunger for
success as I had at the beginning of my career, and I love the
challenges brought by the top quality players you face while playing in
the Premier League .
When Arsène Wenger spoke to me about his
ambitions for this club, and how he saw me as part of this team, the
decision was clear.”
