Despite going against the wishes of Blues boss Jose Mourinho and the majority of the club’s fans, the iconic goalkeeper has agreed terms on a deal to join the Gunners after losing his place in the Chelsea XI to Thibaut Courtois.
The BBC claim that a fee has been agreed between the two clubs and that Cech’s agent has already agreed personal terms, leaving just a medical to complete before the deal can be signed.

And in a further twist, Cech’s first game as an Arsenal player could come against his former side in the Community Shield at Wembley Stadium in August.
His impending arrival has understandably created a huge buzz amongst the Arsenal faithful, who have been crying out for a top class goalkeeper for years.
