Petr Cech to Arsenal: Chelsea goalkeeper 'agrees' personal terms with the Gunners as he closes in on Emirates Stadium move

Chelsea goalkeeper Petr Cech has
agreed personal terms with Arsenal,
according to reports.
Sky Sports have reported that Cech has
agreed his personal terms in principle
but the clubs are not close to agreeing a
fee. Negotiations will continue this
week.
Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich is
willing to let Cech leave for rivals
Arsenal as a goodwill gesture following
his 11 years of loyal service at Stamford
Bridge, and the transfer will allow Cech
to keep his family in London where
they have settled since his move from
French side Rennes in 2004.

Last week, Arsenal's goalkeeping coach
Tony Roberts left the club to join
Swansea, prompting speculation that
Cech will bring his own coach with him
when he makes the expected move.
Cech is likely to want to bring Blues
goalkeeping coach Christophe Lollichon
with him.
Lollichon, who has close bond with Cech
after working with him for many years,
said this week: "I think [Cech] still has
three or four excellent seasons in him,”
said Lollichon.
"His family like England. And a player
is happy when his family is happy.
"He wants to stay in England, but I
don't know where are the discussions.
The Premier League is his primary
objective. But it will also depends on
the conditions .
"The advantage is that Arsenal is a top
club, with a philosophy that pleases him
and that is at London. It is a base for
consideration."
Roberts, 45, will link up again with
former Gunners 'keeper Lukasz
Fabianski at Swansea.
