Arsenal have no plans - at this time - to stock Petr Cech-inspired scrum caps in their club shops.

Cech, who announced his arrival at Arsenal from rivals Chelsea on Monday afternoon with a heartfelt goodbye to fans of the Blues, has worn a protective cap since fracturing his skull after a challenge from then-Reading midfielder Stephen Hunt back in October 2006.

When contacted by The Independent, Arsenal confirmed that they do not have plans to stock the item, sure to be a hit with Gooners, for the time being.

They also confirmed that no requests from supporters had been made to introduce the item in the club shop.
