Petr Cech praises Kepa Arrizabalaga's reaction to Edouard Mendy's arrival at Chelsea

Petr Cech claims Kepa Arrizabalaga’s reaction to Edouard Mendy’s arrival at Chelsea has been "absolutely magnificent". After Kepa's poor performances last season, the Blues signed Mendy from Rennes during this summer transfer window. Since Mendy's arrival, Kepa has made just one appearance. Meanwhile, Edouard Mendy has made overall 8 appearances in which he has kept 6 clean sheets. In an interview with The Times, Cech has praised Kepa's reaction to the arrival of a new goalkeeper and says his response has been "absolutely magnificent". "I was asked together with the goalkeeping department and the scouting department to prepare documents for the manager and give my advice on who would be my choice," Cech told The Times. "Edouard was not the only one on the list, but we had him on top because of his qualities and the knowledge we had about him. The manager and the club decided to go with our advice, so that’s how he ended up here. "He has brought exactly what we wanted him to, which is his presence, his calmness and the way he does things on the pitch with precision and clear decision-making. "He’s a very positive person and he transmits that in the way he plays. "His main strength is aerial duels. He’s very strong in coming for crosses and has big presence in the box. "He’s tall, 6ft 5in, so he uses his frame for coming out and blocking shots. And his distribution is really good. Overall he’s a complete goalkeeper." source - Metro Join us on Telegram
