Top 5 summer signings in the Premier League

Petr Cech

Petr Cech’s experience and know-how have helped Arsenal a lot

Such is the appreciation of his services that Chelsea did not stop Petr Cech’s wish to remain in London but switch clubs to rivals Arsenal. After him joining the Gunners in the summer, Arsenal have looked more compact and leaked lesser goals with the Czech international between the posts. In 28 games, the 6’5” shot-stopper has kept 12 clean sheets but his calming influence has eased the nerves of many Arsenal fans.

Although 33, the southpaw still has a good set of years to give to Arsenal, who seem to be struggling to put a good run of games together. The London outfit had been crying out for a commanding figure at the back and in Cech, they have a proven winner who has already slotted in well at the back.

Apart from his possitional intelligence, Cech’s distribution is the envy of many goalkeepers. While Arsenal continue to border mediocrity and brilliance at the same time, the fans have at least one less thing to worry about.
