Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho has reportedly hailed his side's goalkeeper Petr Cech as the 'world's best goalkeeper' ahead of the player's 300th Premier League appearance for the team in Sunday's game against Cardiff City.

Cech has been the No.1 at Stamford Bridge since 2004 but may reportedly come under pressure from highly-rated youngster Thibaut Courtois, who is currently in his third term on loan at Atletico Madrid, in the coming seasons.

According to Metro.co.uk, although Courtois said that he would not return to Chelsea to play 'second fiddle' Cech, Mourinho however, said that he would enjoy having such a good selection problem when the time arrives given that Chelsea has the best goalkeeper and the best young goalkeeper in the world in Cech and Courtois respectively.

Even though the report mentioned that Courtois is being eyed by Spanish giants Barcelona with his impressive displays for Atletico, who are also keen to sign the youngster on a permanent deal, however, Mourinho said that he is not worried over losing Cech's likely successor to a European rival.
