Arsenal will officially announce the signing of Petr Cech from Chelsea on Monday, Football Express News understands.

The Czech Republic stopper spent over a decade as Chelsea‘s number one but the return of Thibaut Courtois from a three-year loan spell has seen his seen resigned to a place on the bench.

Cech has since received interest from a number of European and Premier League clubs, having been available by the Blues for transfer at just £10m.

And, it is now reported by Sky Sports News that Chelsea have agreed to sell the keeper to Arsenal for just over that amount.

Gunners boss Arsene Wenger is selling David Ospina this summer and is keen to offload Wojciech Szczesny after a number of on and off the field problems.

Cech is seen as the perfect replacement, given his experience, and has been guaranteed a starting place by Wenger at the Emirates.

An official announcement on the deal is expected for Monday morning.
