Petr Cech's Arsenal move 'killing' Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho
PETR CECH'S sale to Arsenal will be killing Jose Mourinho, according to former Chelsea assistant Steve Clarke.
Petr Cech - Spotlight On
Cech left Chelsea for the Gunners earlier this summer in an £11million deal.
Mourinho made no secret of the fact that he would have preferred Cech to stay - or at least not join a direct rival.
I know inside it will be killing him having to sell one of his best players to a title rival.
But Roman Abramovich reportedly granted the keeper the move of his choice as payback for years of loyal service.
Clarke - now in charge at Reading - believes Arsenal have made a great signing.
And the former West Brom man claims the deal will be hurting Mourinho.

He told talkSPORT: "For me, he is still one of the best goalkeepers in the world. He is a great signing for Arsenal.
"I do smile a bit when I see Jose's comments because I know inside it will be killing him having to sell one of his best players to a title rival."
