It's a measure of Chelsea's respect for Petr Cech's service and loyalty that they allowed him to choose his next club. A real touch of class

Fantastic signing for Arsenal. £10m for one of the best keepers in the world and a Chelsea all time great. Petr Cech joins on 4 year deal.

Imagine hearing in August 2013 that Arsenal were going to sign Ozil & Sanchez, win back to back FA Cups & sign Cech. Remarkable turnaround

An issue at #afc in recent years has been the shortage of true leaders on and off the field. Cech brings more authority to the dressing-room

Whilst Petr Cech is a decent signing for Arsenal, has he ever won Bolton Wanderers player of the season?
No?
Adam Bogdan has.
