Cech has joined the Gunners in £10million deal from Chelsea, however, Shilton believes the 33-year-old shot-stooper could struggle if Arsenal's back-four are weak.
"He is not getting any younger," Shilton told talkSPORT.
"I have always rated him, he is a top quality good goalkeeper, but I've just thought on a few occasions that when Chelsea struggled, he struggled a bit sometimes.
"He was playing behind a really good defence at Chelsea and that gives you confidence week in, week out but if he doesn’t get that cover we will see if he has that top quality and that confidence to perform."
