Petr Cech to Arsenal: £11m deal with Chelsea stopper SIGNED, SEALED and DELIVERED
Chelsea FINALLY get work permit for 13-goal striker who will join them for Barcelona & PSG games
The 33-year-old had previously helped the Blues win three Premier League titles, but Thibaut Courtois’ emergence forced him to the sideline.
However, he was part of his fourth Premier League title winning team in the 2014-15 season.
His reserve role was enough to convince him to leave Chelsea though, as he has officially completed an £11m transfer deal with Arsenal.
Needless to say, Blues fans are not happy with their longtime goalie switching over to a Premier League rival and championship contender.
Arsenal finished in third place in the Premier League standings in the 2014-15 season, and they will undoubtedly be hungry to win their first championship in 11 years.
Here are some furious reactions from Chelsea fans on Twitter.
Cech is going to Arsenal. He will forever be a legend but there’s no hiding the fact he’s a traitor

Cech is a snake, there is no defending him. No player is bigger than the club. I wish him every possible failure while he’s at Arsenal.

Despite the uproar from Chelsea fans, there have also been more level-headed reactions across the Twitter universe while some have even been encouraging.
Chelsea fans call Arsenal bitter over Fabregas. They are already calling Petr Cech a snake/traitor and he hasn’t even moved to Arsenal yet.”
