The
33-year-old goalkeeper has been heavily linked with a switch to the
Emirates Stadium, with some reports suggesting that the deal has been
completed, which Cech has since denied.
Graham believes that Chelsea are rewarding Cech's 11 years of service at Stamford Bridge with the opportunity to play first-team football elsewhere, after he lost his place in the team to Thibaut Courtois.
"There is a bit of loyalty at last," Graham told talkSPORT. "Sometimes it doesn't happen in the game but he's been very loyal to Chelsea and he's been outstanding for them now for more than 10 years.
"He's still got a few more
years left in him yet. Goalkeepers can last well into their 30s at the
top level and he is a top level goalkeeper. Ideally [if you were
Chelsea] you wouldn't let him go but I think they're rewarding him for
his loyalty.
"Let's be honest, apart from the last few seasons, Arsenal have always had really good, top class, goalkeepers and that's very important if you want to win the big trophies."
Cech has made 494 appearances for Chelsea.
