Arsenal Goalkeeper Petr Cech has announced that he will retire from playing at the end of the season.

The veteran shot-stopper revealed his decision on social media on Tuesday, declaring that after 20 years as a professional, he had elected to call time on a trophy-laden career.

"This is my 20th season as a professional player and it has been 20 years since I signed my first professional contract, so it feels like the right time to announce that I will retire at the end of the season.

"Having played 15 years in the Premier League, and won every single trophy possible, I feel like I have achieved everything I set out to achieve.

"I will continue to work hard at Arsenal to hopefully win one more trophy this season, then I am looking forward to seeing what life holds for me off the pitch."

Cech, who has 124 caps for his country, arrived in the Premier League in 2004, after Chelsea spent £7million to take him from Rennes.

In his debut season, under Jose Mourinho, he kept 24 clean sheets in 38 matches - the most in a single season - as the club strolled to a first Premier League title, conceding just 15 times in the process.

MySportDab report He spent 11 years at Stamford Bridge, winning four Premier League crowns, four FA Cups and three League Cups.

Since leaving Chelsea, Cech has made 129 appearances for Arsenal, winning the FA Cup in 2017.

Very painful. Such goal keepers should be there even in their 40s. Hopefully he can win one more trophy and be assigned a role by Arsenal.

Respect!!

Thanks boss mentor

HE DON TRY REACH

From Chelsea to Arsenal

Let him go and enjoy his F*CKING MONEY!

Wish Man Utd, Real Madrid or Barca can still sign him. His experience is priceless

How many penalties did he save seff?
Who has ps vita cards here?

Petr Cech gave his best at Chelsea but did not help Arsenal as Arsene Wenger anticipated before going for him. However, it must said that he was not helped by poor quality defenders Arsenal have. Nevertheless, he won FA cup at Emirates to boost his already impressive haul.

At his age, he can still man the post for a number years and I am sure he wouldn't lack suitors but we are bound to respect his decision. The sudden announcement may mean there may be coaching job already on the table for him some where.
