Arsenal have snapped up Chelsea’s Petr Čech for a fee believed to be around £11m, according to reports.

The 33-year-old will make the short trip across London after 11 years at Stamford Bridge — and his first game for the Gunners could come against his former club in the Community Shield.

Despite Jose Mourinho’s reluctance to do a deal with Arsenal, Roman Abramovich has honoured his promise to let the keeper choose his destination.

Cech’s arrival could spell the end of David Ospina’s short time in North London, with Fenerbahçe seemingly close to signing the Colombian number 1.
