The Gunners have secured the signing of the Czech Republic
international goalkeeper from Chelsea and the right-back believes that
his acquisition is a major statement of intent
Mathieu Debuchy has hailed Arsenal's signing of Petr Cech from
Chelsea , believing that the Gunners are now well-placed to mount a
serious Premier League title challenge.
Cech completed his move to the Gunners, which is reported to be worth
£10 million (€14m), on June 29 and will become the club's new No.1
for the 2015-16 season.
Debuchy believes that Cech's acquisition is a major step forward for the
Gunners and has backed his side to build on last season's third-placed
finish.
"Petr is a very good keeper with massive experience. He has a lot of
quality and is a complete goalkeeper," he told Arsenal's official website.
"I think [Arsenal can challenge for the Premier League] and I hope so
too. We have all the chance to win the Premier League."
Debuchy was limited to just 10 league appearances last season, with
injuries seriously disrupting his campaign, while Cech made seven
outings for Chelsea prior to his departure.
