The Czech Republic international has been linked with a move to the Gunners since the end of the season and the Daily Mail understand the transfer has gone through.

Cech lost his place as Chelsea's number one to Thibaut Courtois at the start of last season and told owner Roman Abramovich and manager Jose Mourinho he wanted to leave for first-team football.

The deal will be Arsenal's first of the summer and Arsene Wenger will hope 33-year-old will bring quality and experience to his side.

And his first match for Arsenal could be against the Blues in the Community Shield on August 2.

The arrival of Cech at the Emirates is likely to see either Wojciech Szczesny or David Ospina, who has been linked with Turkish side Fenerbahce, leave the club.

Earlier today, Chelsea captain John Terry claimed Cech, who spent 11 years with the Blues and won 13 major trophies, could win Arsenal 15 points if he joined them and understood his reasons for leaving Stamford Bridge.

He told talkSPORT: "There’s talk of Arsenal signing Petr Cech and, if they do get him, he will strengthen them for sure. He will save them 12 or 15 points a season.

"Petr was an unbelievable professional last year. When you get left out of the team it can be hard to accept but, when he came in [to the side], he was exceptional.

"He deserves a lot of credit for that. We understand he wants to play first-team football but nobody wants to see him leave the club.

"He’s going to be sorely missed and will improve any side he goes to."

Good move for both teams.

Finally the deal is done and dusted. A no brainer for Cech if you must ask, and i think most importantly it's a win-win situation for both Chelsea and Ass_anal. Up blues!

Have you heard that Cech denied such deal?

Czech is realy a good buy 4Gunnerz which would definately boost arsenal chance of double nxt season if Baba Ijebu can buy 1 stupendous striker and 1 dependable defender... Gunnerz till Sepp Blatter because Arsenal's coach...
