Report: Cech to undergo medical at Arsenal ahead of schedule

The most talked about transfer of the summer is on the brink of completion.

Petr Cech is expected to undergo a medical with Arsenal on Friday ahead of his transfer from Chelsea for a fee reported to be worth £10.9 million, according to Sky Sports.

The report claims the medical was originally supposed to take place next week, but has been bumped up for unknown reasons.

The Czech Republic international has already agreed to terms with Arsenal, with a move expected to be made official in the coming days.

While several outlets have reported the completion of the transfer for the past week, the transfer fee was apparently the main obstacle preventing the conclusion of the one of the most drawn-out transfer sagas since the conclusion of the season.
