Cech 3Petr Cech has joined Arsenal from Chelsea for an undisclosed fee on a long-term deal.

The Czech goalkeeper made over 400 appearances in his 11 year stay at Stamford Bridge but decided to swap the blue of Chelsea for the red and white of Arsenal after losing his spot in Jose Mourinho’s side to Thibaut Courtois.

It is believed the Gunners paid just under £11 million for the 33-year-old after passing his medical and looks set to become Arsene Wenger’s first-choice shot-stopper next season.

The signing of Cech could spell the end for David Ospina’s time at Arsenal, with the Colombian being tracked by Fenerbahce and Marseille, and may also leave Wojciech Szczesny warming the bench for the majority of the campaign.

Arsenal have craved an experienced goalkeeper since the days of Jens Lehmann, and Cech certainly fits the bill for many and also viewed as a great signing by Wenger.

Welcome to Arsenal Petr!

    I am not only elated but honestly very relieved, knowing full well the pathological hatred Mourinho has for Arsenal and Arsene Wenger, I truly did not believe Wenger could pull off this transfer. Now,we can be rest assured that we are at least 75% complete at the back.We do need to add another world class defender to our ranks. It is also my prayers that we do not let Ospina leave because Cech is now within. Ospina was very ok last season and can only improve.Moreso, his stunning saves at Copa America would strike fear in opposing strikers who watched what he did to Messi and co. We need him as well as the Scezzy lad. Wenger should mandate each one to win a trophy in the competition they are registered.Happy days are coming for me and other Arsenal fans. First let Wenger show Mourinho who the expert at failings truly is come the community shield with Cech as keeper for the day.

    Wenger keep the spirit for bringing world class players. Atleast consider dm and a clinical finisher as a striker. Arsenal will be good to go for 2015-16 campaign. Petr you are the best. Welcome to the best club ever.
