Chelsea goalkeeper Jamal Blackman believes that he can deputise for number one Petr Cech next season.

Chelsea goalkeeper Jamal Blackman is convinced that he has the quality to deputise for the club's number one Petr Cech next season.

The 19-year-old, who came through the club's academy, is expected to join the first-team squad in the new campaign with Ross Turnbull and Henrique Hilario both leaving this summer.

"I am well equipped to deputise for Cech following the release of Ross Turnbull and Henrique Hilario as I have learnt a lot," Blackman told Goal.com.

"I was on the bench for most of the tough games in the FA Cup and the Europa League and I have understudied Cech so well. I will deliver when I am called."

Blackman has been with the Blues since the age of 13.
