Petr Cech has given glowing praise over one of Chelsea's main transfer targets for 2023. The former Blues keeper left a key directorial role earlier this year after being allowed to leave by Todd Boehly and the new owners over the summer.
The Czech Republic shot-stopper was appointed as technical and performance advisor in 2019 and moved upwards within the club to have an important day-to-day role alongside previous director Marina Granovskaia. Both were let go earlier this year in a host of changes to the internal model at Stamford Bridge.
Boehly has since made key appointments in this area to replace Cech, Bruce Buck and Granovskaia, bringing in Laurence Stewart, Paul Winstanley and Joe Shields to a new-look recruitment department, with Christopher Vivell expected to join as well.
