Cech is closing in on a £11million switch to the Gunners after Chelsea reluctantly agreed to allow the wantaway 33-year-old goalkeeper to join their north London rivals.

It is believed that the Czech Republic international will be a terrific signing for his former club and claims he will help push Arsenal, third in the Premier League last season, closer to the title.

Blues skipper John Terry believes Cech could be worth an extra 15 points to Arsenal, and Wilson claims Jose Mourinho will not be happy at losing the veteran shot-stopper to a title rival.

“Petr Cech has won 13 trophies, including four Premier League titles, four FA Cups and a Champions League,” he added.

“I can only think it is the chairman, Mr Abramovich, who is rewarding him for his service and his loyalty to Chelsea.

“I cannot see Jose Mourinho wanting him to go to Arsenal. He knows his football Jose, he is an amazing manager, but deep down I don’t think he wants him to go.”

The Ghana first Capital Premier League has taken a different form as former League champions Asante Kotoko are finding it difficult to find their feet in contesting for this season’s Grand trophy. Coach Bashiru Hayford is more than optimistic that his Obuasi based side will win the trophy for the 2014/2015 season. Meanwhile, Asante Kotoko and Accra Hearts of Oak being Ghana’s most favorite tradition clubs are the favorite in the ongoing MTN FA CUP despite the ugly performance in the premier league.
