Newz Forum: SOCCER: Petr Cech will join Chelsea

French club Rennes have announced that Czech Republic international goalkeeper Petr Cech will join Chelsea at the end of the current season.The 21-year-old has long been linked with a move to Stamford Bridge and the move has finally been concluded.

The Blues have been negotiating with the French outfit for the past few weeks regarding the highly-rated shot-stopper and have finally landed their man.Rennes were always likely to cash in on Cech, however the side wanted to agree a deal which allowed them to keep the shot-stopper until the end of the campaign.Cech joined Rennes from Sparta Prague in 2002 and along with having 15 caps for his country he is likely to feature prominently in Euro 2004.

Looks like they have the deal done and dusted.I havn't really seen him play so i can't comment on how good he is.

He looks a real good keeper so it will be a great addition,the way Chelsea are going they will have enough players to field two teams and both would finish in the top 10 of the premier league.
