Chelsea captain John Terry eyed by Swansea boss Paul Clement in summer transfer swoop as veteran prepares to make new move
Blues skipper leaving Stamford Bridge after two decades of service and could be set for reunion with old coach in Wales
SWANSEA boss Paul Clement admits he would be interested in signing outgoing Chelsea captain John Terry this summer.
The Blues have confirmed that he will be leaving once his contract expires after two decades of service.
And a whole host of clubs are sure to put forward offers as Terry weighs up his options.
There are interested parties abroad, with MLS and Chinese Super League teams preparing big-money deals.
But Terry is open to remaining in the Premier League and has been strongly linked with Bournemouth.
The Cherries made an enquiry for the veteran in January, but it now seems that Eddie Howe faces stiff competition from Swansea.
Ex-Chelsea coach Clement said: “I would like to say, having worked with him, what a fantastic player he is and what a career he has had.
