Petr Cech aims to bring Arsenal trophies
Petr Cech has swapped his trophy-laden spell at Chelsea for the challenge of helping to bring the glory days back to Arsenal.
During his 11 years at Stamford Bridge, the 33-year-old Czech Republic international established himself as one of the club’s greats, claiming 13 major trophies and breaking Peter Bonetti’s long-standing clean sheets record.
Here, Press Association Sport takes a look at what he won in a Chelsea shirt – and what the Gunners managed to do during the same period.

Arsene Wenger has built two great sides while at the helm – the 1998 double winners and the Invincibles. Petr Cech could be the final piece to his third great Arsenal team. This signing could be that big.
He will bring a consistency at the back that Arsenal have missed since the days of David Seaman. Jens Lehamnn was a very good goalkeeper but Cech is world class. World class remains an over-used phrase but Cech is easily in the top five goalkeepers in the world. Furthermore, at 33 he is at his peak.
Arsenal are a team on an upward trajectory and Cech’s arrival confirms that. EuroSport.com
