Former Chelsea and Arsenal goalkeeper Petr Cech has finally lifted the lid on his move from West to North London back in 2015 just months after lifting the Premier League title for the fourth time.

The Czechia international established himself as arguably the Premier League's greatest-ever goalkeeper during his time at Stamford Bridge, breaking the record for clean sheets which still stands to this day.
