Arsenal’s dream spine come February

Petr Cech

One of the all-time great goalkeepers in Premier League history, Petr Cech continues to produce match-winning performances for Arsenal.

The 34-year-old made the move across London from Chelsea in 2015 as the Gunners finally captured the world-class keeper they’ve been crying out for for years, and the former Czech Republic international certainly lived up to his billing in his first season at the Emirates.

Cech kept a league-high 16 clean sheets for Wenger’s men last term, and was perhaps unfortunate to lose out on a place in the PFA Team of the Year, although Manchester United’s David De Gea also had a fine season.

Nonetheless, Arsenal conceded just 36 goals last season, only one more than the lowest conceders Tottenham and Manchester United, and they have Cech to thank for bailing them out on numerous occasions.

He remains a world-class goalkeeper.
