Cech's medical next week

By -


Petr Cech’s move to Arsenal from Chelsea will not be completed until next week as he is yet to have his medical with the Gunners, according to Sky sources.

Arsenal have agreed a £10.9m fee for the Czech Republic international goalkeeper, but the transfer cannot be finalised until Cech has undergone his medical, which is set to take place from the start to the middle of next week.

It is understood that Cech has already agreed personal terms in principle with Arsenal.

If the deal does go through, as is now widely expected, Cech could be eligible for Arsenal's first game of the season - the Community Shield on August 2 when their opponents will be Premier League champions Chelsea, where Cech has won a string of major honours in his 11-year spell with the club.

The 33-year-old has one year left on his contract at Stamford Bridge but has been searching for a new employer after spending much of last season as second choice 'keeper behind Thibaut Courtois.

Chelsea captain John Terry said on Monday that he believes Arsenal will be buying an extra 12-15 points a season if they complete a deal for Cech.

Former Arsenal goalkeeper Bob Wilson thinks the Gunners’ move for Cech is an "amazing possibility".

"You have to look at the impact a 'keeper like Cech has on those guys in front of him," Wilson told Sky Sports News HQ.

"He has been there since 2004 and he is a Chelsea legend because of the authority he has and the presence he gives.

"Arsenal are now in a very strong position. They have paid off the (Emirates) stadium and have a very good squad with a really good group of British players in there."

CMS Grammar School, Lagos is the oldest secondary school in Nigeria. It was founded on the 6th of June 1859. In honour of its 156th Anniversary here is a brief history of the school. A Brief History of the School One of the major consequences of the advent of European Missionaries and the subsequent exploration of the interior regions of Nigeria was a rise in the establishment of Churches and Schools by the Missionaries. The missionaries had projected that if evangelism was to witness success and progress, education of the citizenry was inescapable. Thus, began the founding of many elementary schools, under the auspices of the CMS Mission and in line with that exploratory pattern. One of the leaders of the CMS Mission, Henry Venn was said to have favoured and encouraged the education of Africans for the African Mission, under a familiar climate. One of the products of that indigenization campaign was Thomas Babington Macaulay, an African and Nigerian who was spotted and picked from

David De Gea has informed Manchester United that he wishes to join Real Madrid, Goal can reveal. The Red Devils must now determine whether to sell De Gea this summer or to hold the Spain international to the final year of his contract, losing him on a free transfer at the end of next season. The attraction of playing for Spain’s biggest football club combined with the opportunity to return to his home city and residence of his girlfriend were significant factors in De Gea’s decision to leave the Premier League. United’s handling of the 24-year-old in recent years – including Louis van Gaal’s instruction that the club hold off on the offer of a new contract last summer until the incoming manager had time to work with De Gea in person – facilitated Madrid’s approach. It is understood that De Gea’s advisors recommended that the Spaniard spend a further two years in English football before joining Madrid. Their argument was that the Premier League provides the best environment
