Petr Cech commits to Chelsea
July 22, 2008
Petr Cech, hailed by many as the best goalkeeper in the World, has signed a new deal with Premiership outfit Chelsea keeping him at the Bridge until 2013. It was rumoured earlier in the season that he may leave the London club and move abroad in a proposed £32 million deal.
Cech said about his new deal at the Bridge:
It is an honour to be at a club like Chelsea and I am happy to have renewed my contract.
Chelsea has grown in my heart, not just because of my team-mates and all the people that work for the club but also because of their fantastic fans.
Cech had just two years left on his current contract, but has now extended that by another three years.
In his 166 appearances for Chelsea, he has kept 90 clean sheets, making him the envy of every club in the World.
Luiz Felipe Scolari (Big Phil) stated about his new (re)signing:
I am delighted that Petr has signed a new contract.
In my view he is the best goalkeeper in the world, so I am very pleased that he will remain with me at Chelsea.
