Former England goalkeeper and Premier League great David James believes that Petr Cech is ‘well worthy’ of the all-time clean sheet record.
The experienced Czech broke the record of 169 Premier League clean sheets – previously held by James – on Monday afternoon in the 2-0 victory over Bournemouth at the Emirates Stadium.
Since joining the Gunners in the summer for a fee of roughly £10m, Cech has gone from strength to strength and is proving himself to still be useful, despite his age of 33.
According to the ex-Portsmouth star, Cech is an ‘exceptional’ goalkeeper.
Petr Cech is exceptional.
He’s quite a remarkable man and. He’s very focussed a little bit obsessive and wants to be the best at everything, which is a good quality to have.
His record is nearly a clean sheet every two games, which is quite remarkable considering he’s been doing that now for 11 years in the Premier League.
He’s quite a remarkable man and well worthy of holding the record.
With potentially many years left of his playing career, Cech will look to increase the record as much as he can with Arsenal.
The ex-Chelsea star could also go on to win the Premier League for the fifth time in his long career, a record which would certainly put him amongst the highest rated goalkeepers in the league’s history, if he is not already.
