Ex-Chelsea
defender Graeme Le Saux believes his former club's decision to sell Petr
Cech to Arsenal was the correct one.
Cech, who is no longer first choice goalkeeper at Stamford Bridge, recently
left the club for the Emirates in a £10m deal, thus ending his 11-year stay
at Chelsea.
However, former England full-back Le Saux - who enjoyed 10 years with the
Blues over two spells - has applauded the club for showing respect to a
player who had given them great service and loyalty in return.
Le Saux told Sky Sports News HQ: "It was a very grown up thing for Chelsea
to do. It shows the huge respect they have for Petr.
"He still has a massive amount to offer and they were willing in the end to
sell him to one of their main rivals.
"So that's Chelsea repaying his loyalty to the club as he was the best
keeper in the Premier League, if not in the world, for a long period.
"He’s a fantastic ambassador for the sport as well and he’s still got a lot
to offer, so he’s a great signing for Arsenal too.
"He’s in a key position for them. Arsenal have strengthened their squad,
still have a few positions to fill, but are title challengers."
