Petr Cech would be worth 12 to 15 points a season to Gunners says John Terry

The Czech keeper is nearing a move from Chelsea to the Gunners, and his skipper at Stamford Bridge has talked up the impact he'd have

Difference maker: Terry has backed Cech to improve Arsenal, if he makes the switch

John Terry has said Petr Cech would save Arsenal between 12 and 15 points a season, if he makes the switch from Chelsea to the Emirates.
The Czech keeper is reportedly nearing a move to the Gunners, having lost his place in the Blues goal to Thibaut Courtois last season.
Media reports this morning suggest that Cech has agreed personal terms ahead of the potential switch, leaving the two clubs to thrash out a fee for his services.
He has one year left on his contract at Stamford Bridge, and while Terry says no-one wants to see him leave the club, he understands his desire for regular first-team football.

Speaking to talkSPORT , 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.”
Cech wants to remain in London, making the move to Arsenal desirable from his point of view.

Jose Mourinho would rather he make the switch to Paris Saint-Germain rather than one of Chelsea's title rivals, but Roman Abramovich has apparently given Cech his blessing ahead of a move to the Emirates.
Cech has played 485 times for the Blues, winning four Premier League titles, four FA Cups, three League Cups and a solitary Champions League crown.
