Chelsea boss Frank Lampard has confirmed Petr Cech's role in their deal for Rennes goalkeeper Edouard Mendy.
Mendy is having his medical today ahead of a £22million move to Stamford Bridge from Ligue 1 side Rennes.
Blues chief Cech made the same switch from the French club to the Blues in 2004 and went on to four Premier League titles and the Champions League during a glittering spell in west London.
"Petr was important in that, because the goalkeeper position is a very particular position," Lampard said ahead of Wednesday night's EFL Cup meeting with Barnsley.
“Petr Cech was the best in the world at that for a long time. He certainly will have a big say in this situation from my point of view, I lean heavily on him when it comes to the goalkeepers day to day, planning and the future. He was very influential."
