Arsenal goalkeeper Petr Cech has claimed that the Gunners will win silverware in the next season because of the team spirit within the dressing room.

The Czech stopper, who is preparing for his first season as an Arsenal player following his £11m switch from rivals Chelsea last month, admitted that he has been impressed with the unity on show among the players at the Emirates Stadium.

"I have to say that I've found the team spirit at Arsenal quite extraordinary. Everybody's pulling in the same direction, which is why I believe we will have a successful season," Cech told the London Evening Standard.

"I've only been here for a short while but it was clear right from my first day at the club that the team is together. We've players who have won the World Cup and young players who want to prove their point and play as much as possible.

"There are a lot of things in common with the Chelsea dressing room and we are working hard to prepare for a successful season. But there are a lot of opponents in the pack in the Premier League and Champions League who have the same ambitions."

Arsenal begin the Premier League season at home to West Ham United on August 9.
