Arsenal new boy Cech chomping at the bit

Petr Cech admits he cannot wait to get started with Arsenal.


The 33-year old Czech Republic goalkeeper finalised his move from Chelsea to the Gunners on Monday on a long-term deal for an undisclosed fee believed to be in the region of £10million.

After spending 11 years at Stamford Bridge and making over 400 appearances for the Blues, Cech insists his love and hunger for the game are just as evident as when he first arrived in England.

"I'm really excited about joining Arsenal Football Club and can't wait to join up for pre-season," he told the club's official website.

"I have the same commitment to football, the same motivation and the same hunger for success as I had at the beginning of my career, and I love the challenges brought by the top quality players you face while playing in the Premier League."
