Petr Cech is on the move to the Emirates, while Arsenal FC No.2 goal keeper David Ospina, who played pretty well last season, is closing on a deal of £4 million move to Fenerbache.

Colombia's Ospina was one of the players who stepped up to the plate for Arsenal FC last year, especially during the time when Arsene Wenger lost his faith in his no.1 goal keeper Wojciech Szczęsny.

But Petr Cech's willingness to leave Stamford Bridge this summer convinced Wenger to grab the opportunity to sign the former Chelsea FC no.1 goal keeper. With his contract officially expiring at the end of the season, Cech is allowed to leave if he wanted to as a thank you for his services as Chelsea's no.1 guy between the pipes for over a decade.

 Chelsea FC manager Jose Mourinho was hesitant to let go of Cech, even more after knowing that he may end up with his main rival, although he already has an arranged deal in place for Stoke City's Asmir Begovic, if the 33-year-old Czech decided to leave Stamford Bridge this summer.

Even, Paris Saint Germain seems interested to land Cech this summer, but he wanted to stay in London where his family is currently residing. Arsenal FC are determined to finalize the deal with Chelsea FC for the transfer of Cech, which is projected to be in the range of £9 million.

Winning the Best Goal Keeper of French League in 2003-04 season and Premier League Golden Glove award's in (2004-05, 2009-10, 2013-14). Petr Cech has tons of experience on his shoulders that he can share to the club via ESPN FC.

Arsenal FC would be grateful if the deal for Cech would go well in the eyes of Telegraph writer Alistair Tweedale. He will become the first major signing this season for the Gunners, who will make him easily their no.1 goal keeper next season.

Arsenal is also eager to boost their midfield, with Southampton FC midfielder Morgan Schneiderlin and Bayern Leverkusen defensive midfielder Lars Bender being thought to be their next targets, according to Metro.uk.
