CechArsenal have reportedly signed Petr Cech from Chelsea and John Terry believes the Czech goalkeeper can bring them between 12 to 15 points a season.

Cech opted to reject PSG advances and higher wage packet to join Arsenal after losing his place to Thibaut Courtois last season.

The Gunners finished third in the Premier League last season, 12 points behind winners Chelsea and, while he was desperate to see Cech remain at Stamford Bride, Terry admits he is an excellent signing for Arsenal, one that can close the gap at the top next season.

Quoted earlier today on talkSPORT.com, Terry said:

‘There’s talk of Arsenal signing Petr Cech and, if they do get him, he will strengthen them for sure. He will save them 12 or 15 points a season.

‘Petr was an unbelievable professional last year. When you get left out of the team it can be hard to accept but, when he came in [to the side], he was exceptional.

‘He deserves a lot of credit for that. We understand he wants to play first-team football but nobody wants to see him leave the club.

‘He’s going to be sorely missed and will improve any side he goes to.’

As much as I dislike Terry, I totally agree with him on this one – a world-class goalkeeper can make the difference in winning and losing, and Cech can potentially save us 12 to 15 points a season.

There are a lot of reports suggesting the Cech deal is done, but until it is official I won’t believe what I read…even though it’s certain to happen.

I really, really hope Chelsea selling Cech to us comes back and bites them and Jose Mourinho in the ARSEnal.

    Arsenal do not need peter cech 4 fact, we have an Ospina who turn around 2nd round of last season 4 arsenal he never conceded more than 2 goals in all premierhip matches, when d likes of chelsea NO 1 conceded 5 goals in a match and cech also conceded 3 goals in a match, so what is the statistics to judge a good goal keeper as 4 me ospina has not done badly. We dnt appreciate what we have untill we loose it
