Former Chelsea midfielder Frank Lampard has
predicted that Arsenal will fight for the
Premier League title this season due to their
capture of goalkeeper Petr Cech .
The 33-year-old moved to the Emirates from
Chelsea last month for a reported £11m fee
after losing his number one spot to Thibaut
Courtois at Stamford Bridge.
Lampard, who is due to make his debut for
MLS side New York City FC this weekend,
believes that Cech could "make a difference"
to Arsenal's title ambitions.
"Arsenal signing Petr Cech is a big deal," The
Express quotes Lampard as saying. "Cech is a
world-class keeper and person and can help
push Arsenal into the running next season.
"Arsenal weren't a million miles away over the
last few seasons. They are always
challenging before falling just short but Cech
going there, as John Terry said recently, will
save them points.
"Manchester City and Chelsea will be
challenging for the title once again. They
remain favourites but Petr will make a
difference."
Cech spent 11 years at Chelsea.
