Arsenal legend Graham praises Chelsea for allowing Cech to control destiny

Arsenal legend George Graham is keen to see a deal for Chelsea goalkeeper Petr Cech get over the line.

Graham has applauded Chelsea for allowing Cech to control his destiny.

"There is a bit of loyalty at last," he told talkSPORT. “Sometimes it doesn't happen in the game but he's been very loyal to Chelsea and he's been outstanding for them now for more than ten years.

“He's still got a few more years left in him yet. Goalkeepers can last well into their 30s at the top level and he is a top level goalkeeper.

“Ideally [if you were Chelsea] you wouldn't let him go but I think they're rewarding him for his loyalty.

“Let's be honest, apart from the last few seasons, Arsenal have always had really good, top class, goalkeepers and that's very important if you want to win the big trophies."
