The Czech Republic international has already agreed personal terms with the north Londoners and is on the verge of ending his 11-year association with the Blues.
Despite having just one year left on his contract, Chelsea hope to receive as much as £15 million for the 33-year-old, who was desperate for first-team football after being usurped by Thibaut Courtois.
Goal first revealed that Cech had asked to join Arsenal at the start of June, with the veteran goalkeeper not only keen to re-establish himself as No.1 but also wary of uprooting his young family.
