Arsenal legend Jens Lehmann has urged Petr Cech to forget about his time at Chelsea if he’s to succeed in north London after his controversial move across the capital, the German told The Sun.

“But, as a professional, he must get over it and needs to know Arsenal want him to win things again for them.”
Professionalism isn’t something Cech lacks and he almost certainly knows what is expected following his much-publicised move. You don’t win 13 major trophies without being dedicated to your profession and that is something we’ll become accustomed to when watching Cech.
