Petr Cech extends his contract at Chelsea

Petr extended his contract at Chelsea yesterday and this deal will make him stay at the Bridge till 2016.

The news was confirmed on the Chelsea website yesterday afternoon.

Speaking of his new deal, Cech said:

‘I am really happy to be part of this great club for another four years. I hope the next four years will be as successful as the last eight years I have been at the club.’

The club chief executive, Ron Gourlay said:

‘Chelsea fully appreciates the highly significant contribution Petr has made to the most successful period in the club’s history, and it is very important to our aim of continuing this level of achievement that he has committed himself to the club until 2016.It is clear to anyone who watched the climax to the season just completed that Petr continues to perform as well as any goalkeeper in the world.’

Cech has come up with important saves last season, and has played a huge part in Chelsea’s double this season.

Cech has had his critics and I guess being a goalkeeper, your mistakes are more obvious than others but he keeps working hard to improve his game to get back to his best.
