The veteran goalkeeper sees his immediate future at Emirates Stadium, with the opportunity to head to Italy turned down in order to honour a contract. Petr Cech insists his “future is at Arsenal”, with the veteran goalkeeper having snubbed the opportunity to link up with Serie A side Napoli. Now 36 years of age, the Czech custodian has spent the last three seasons at Emirates Stadium.
He still has a year left to run on his current contract and has no intention of breaking that agreement, despite Arsenal having invested €22 million (£19m/$26m) in Germany international Bernd Leno.“My contract with Arsenal still has a year to run,” Cech told journalists in Zruc during a visit to his homeland.“The only thing I’m preparing for is the fight for the No. 1 spot in goal. “Napoli were interested but my future is at Arsenal. I didn’t think of changing clubs.”
