US EditionArsenal and Chelsea Icon Petr Cech's Son Signs Pro Contract with Premier League Rival
GREATER LONDON, ENGLAND, JUL 7 – Damian Cech, 16, chose Fulham over Chelsea and Arsenal to start his pro career and debuted for Czech Republic Under-18s at 15, following his father's goalkeeping legacy.
- Damian Cech, the 16-year-old son of former Chelsea goalkeeper Petr Cech, has embarked on his professional football career by agreeing to terms with Fulham, a club competing in the Premier League, in 2024.
- Damian previously trained at Chelsea's academy and debuted for the Czech Republic Under-18s at age 15 in August last year before choosing to focus on football over ice hockey.
- He plays as a goalkeeper like his father and posted "forever grateful" on Instagram with a photo of him and his parents to announce the contract signing.
- Petr Cech, a Premier League legend with Chelsea and Arsenal, retired in 2019 and worked as a technical advisor at Chelsea until Todd Boehly's 2022 takeover led to his departure.
- Damian's signing with a London rival to Chelsea suggests a career path independent of his father's former club and reflects the competitive dynamics in the capital's football scene.
