Cech moved to north London from Chelsea, signing for Arsenal for a fee of £10 million in the summer of 2015.

It seems Cech’s long-awaited return has warmed the hearts of fans on Twitter, with many fans reacting with joy at the news of his return.
Here is a selection of tweets from Chelsea fans on the news of Cech’s return:
His role could be “janitor” and it would still be a great hire. Happy to have him back within the club. Can only be good.
