The Czech goalkeeper has completed his
move to north London despite Jose
Mourinho being keen for him to stay,
ending his 11-year association with the
Premier League champions.

Arsenal have
completed the signing
of goalkeeper Petr
Cech from London
rivals Chelsea on a
long-term contract for an undisclosed fee.

The 33-year-old completed his medical on
Friday and has now signed a £100,000-a-
week contract (€140,000), immediately
making him one of the club's highest earners
alongside Mesut Ozil and Alexis Sanchez.

The £11 million (€15.5m) capture of Cech
represents Arsenal's first signing of the
summer, though Chelsea boss Jose
Mourinho had been hugely reluctant to
allow the veteran goalkeeper to join a rival.

Mourinho was keen to retain Cech as
backup to Thibaut Courtois, but owner
Roman Abramovich wanted to show
respect for the Czech's 11 years of
distinguished service so ceded to his wishes
for first-team football as well as his desire
to keep his young family in London .

Cech has played a key role in the most
successful era of the Blues' history,
winning four Premier League titles, the
Champions League, Europa League, FA
Cup and League Cup during his time at
Stamford Bridge.

Despite being reduced to a bit-part role
last season, Cech still showed his
goalkeeping prowess by recording five clean
sheets in his seven Premier League
appearances.

His departure leaves Mourinho in need of
a new shot-stopper to provide cover for
Courtois, and the Blues have already
identified Stoke City's Asmir Begovic as a
primary target for the role .

Arsenal, meanwhile, are expected to sell
Fenerbahce target David Ospina to make
room for Cech, with Wojciech Szczesny to
be his understudy, and the Czech could yet
be followed to the Emirates Stadium by
Chelsea goalkeeping coach Christophe
Lollichon.
