Arsenal goalkeeper Petr Cech has said that he believes the Gunners are capable of challenging the best sides for silverware.

The goalkeeper completed his move to the Emirates Stadium from Chelsea on Monday, bringing an end to his 11-year career with the Blues.

After winning four Premier League titles, four FA Cups and the 2012 Champions League during his time at Stamford Bridge, Cech is confident that his new club can also lift major trophies on a regular basis.

"I am as hungry as ever and have the same motivation and commitment to win trophies as I had 10 or 15 years ago and as a kid," Cech told Arsenal's official website.

"Having spoken to [manager Arsene Wenger], I believe I will find a team that wants to be successful and wants to challenge the best in Europe. It is an exciting project for me.

"It was probably the hardest decision for me to go, but last year I realised that I am not in a phase of my career when I would sit on the bench. I want to be playing, I want to have a chance to compete for my position in the team and I want to be useful for the team and do the usual stuff on the pitch week in, week out.

"I hope I will have that possibility to compete for my place here at Arsenal and I hope that I can bring something a little extra to the team that can help."

Cech lost his first-team spot at Chelsea to Thibaut Courtois last season.
