Cech has brought surety to the Arsenal defence

The former Chelsea star moved to London rivals, Arsenal, in a shock move in the summer of 2015. The Arsenal defence needed an experienced hand at the back and Cech was brought in as the calming influence in their frantic defence.

Cech struggled a bit at the start of the season, letting in some easy goals. But soon he found his old form and raised the level of the Arsenal defence. After years of having goalkeepers like Almunia and Szczesny, Arsenal have finally found a goalkeeper good enough to go for the title charge.

The 34-year-old has kept a total of 12 clean sheets this year. He has made an average of 2.15 saves per game including quite a few match saving ones. Cech has also been the man of the match for 15 times this year in the league. He is not perfect, often conceding near post goals which could be saved, but he has, without a doubt, set the standards for the future goalkeepers for Arsenal.
