It is understood Arsenal have agreed a £10.9 fee for the 33-year-old, but Sky Sports report that the deal cannot be finalised until the medical is complete.
According to the report, the medical is set to be undertaken early next week and it is believed Cech has already agreed personal terms with Arsenal.
It is believed Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich has sanctioned the transfer in part due to Cech’s loyalty to the club since joining in 2004.
Blues boss Jose Mourinho has previously stated he would attempt to block any move to the Gunners, but it now seems the transfer is inevitable.
Cech has dropped behind Thibaut Courtois in the pecking order at Stamford Bridge and made just 10 appearances last season as Chelsea stormed to its fourth Premier League title.
