#3 Petr Cech - Arsenal

Cech spent 11 years with Chelsea before moving to Arsenal

Petr Cech was an integral part of the Roman revolution at Chelsea. The veteran goalkeeper spent 11 seasons with Chelsea winning 15 team honours including the Premier League and the UEFA Champions League.

In the summer of 2015, Chelsea willingly let Cech join Premier League and London rivals Arsenal for around £10m. Cech had a few words to share about his move to Arsenal.

“Last summer, things changed and I understood I was no longer the first-choice keeper, but I felt it was not the right time for me to go. During the season it became clear that my situation would not improve and, as I know I am not at the stage of my career where I want to be on the bench, I made my decision to move on and look for new challenges.”

Cech lost his place in the Chelsea lineup to Thibaut Courtois and that played a big role in his decision to leave the Blues. After leaving Chelsea, he has won the Community Shield and the FA Cup once each with the Gunners.

The former Czech Republic international holds the record for the most number of cleansheets in Premier League history and also shares the record for most number of Golden Glove awards with Joe Hart.
