‘Signing of the summer!’ – fans react to Cech’s move to Arsenal

Petr Cech’s 11-year career at Stamford Bridge came to an end on Monday when he completed an £11m switch to Arsenal.

The move provoked mixed reactions among Chelsea fans but Arsenal supporters were unsurprisingly ecstatic at signing one of the Premier League’s most decorated goalkeepers.

Celebrity fans and former players weighed in as well, with Piers Morgan baiting ex-Gunners Cesc Fabregas and Ashley Cole…

And even some Liverpool and Manchester United fans looked on with jealousy at Cech’s move to Arsenal…
