Arsenal Football club of England has completed the signing of Czech Republic international Petr Cech for a fee in the region of £11million as reported by the Daily Mail.
Petr Cech finally completed his long-awaited move from Chelsea to Arsenal after been strongly linked with a transfer to the Emirates Stadium since the end of last season when it became clear that the arrival of Thibaut Courtois from Atletico Madrid would see him become Chelsea second choice goalkeeper.
Cech who joined Chelsea in 2004 and made over 450 appearances at Stamford Bridge was also courted by Manchester United but decided to stay in London because of his family despite Jose Mourinho's unwillingness to sell him to their North London rival.
The 33 year old becomes Arsenal's first signing of the season and could face his former club Chelsea in the community Shield in August.
During his time at Stamford Bridge, Cech won four Premier League titles, four FA Cups, three league cups, one UEFA Champions League and UEFA Europa League cup.
