Chelsea skipper John Terry has claimed that Arsenal-bound goalkeeper Petr Cech can win the Gunners up to 15 points a season.

The Czech Republic international, 33, is being widely tipped to complete his move to the Emirates Stadium very soon according to various sources and current Blues teammate Terry suggests the Gunners will be landing a very important contributor.

Terry told talkSPORT: "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."
