Arsenal manager Unai Emery has heaped the praise on goalkeeper Petr Cech, as he starred in the Gunners' 2-0 win over Everton on Sunday evening...
Cech displayed a man-of-the-match performance in Arsenal's 2-0 win over the Toffees on Sunday.
Speculation over Cech's future has grown since the start of the season with the arrival of Bernd Leno from Bayer Leverkusen.
However, Emery, who has now won five games in a row in all competitions at Arsenal, insists that he is "very happy" with the former Chelsea 'keeper.
"I think we need every goalkeeper, and today Petr Cech today was very important," the new Arsenal boss said.
"I'm very happy with the goalkeeper, and how they are all working for us, Emiliano (Martinez), (Bernd) Leno and Cech.
"I think Cech has a big experience, big quality, he started the pre-season very well, and we think he is in a performance we want.
"Today, he showed us he is very well and is continuing with this work and this spirit every day. The other goalkeepers are the same, very well, and need to continue working for then the team needs.
"I think Leno is calm," Emery added. "He knows now he is working well. But also we have three goalkeepers, and Cech put in a good performance.
"We are going to give them possibilities to play, chances to play. It is good for the team, good for the goalkeepers.
"I am a little surprised at a lot of questions for Cech, because I think in the position, and also in the first match with us, he has played with a good performance.
"I think it is good for Leno to learn every day with a goalkeeper like Petr Cech, to earn with him, to give him the experience.
"Leno is younger, and we want, he wants, and he is coming here for a big future. But now, they are very competitive for the position, and Petr Cech for us is also very important."
