Bookies slash odds on John Terry making sensational move to London rivals Arsenal in the summer window
Chelsea defender has odds drastically cut from 33/1 to just 5/1 with William Hill after a wave of bets on the sensational move
BOOKIES have slashed the odds on Chelsea skipper John Terry making a sensational move to London rivals Arsenal this summer.
The Blues defender, 36, has already announced he will be leaving the club at the end of the 2016-17 campaign.
With offers for Terry set to come in from both the Chinese Super League and the MLS, one team's name keeps popping up as a potential destination... Arsenal.
After 22 years of loyal service at Stamford Bridge, it would be almost unthinkable to see him donning the red of the Gunners.
However, a month after Harry Redknapp suggested Arsene Wenger should make a move for JT, a swarm of bets on the ex-England international to Arsenal were placed.
Bizarrely, 90 per cent of the punts came from the Reading area, forcing bookies William Hill to slash the odds from 33/1 to just 5/1.
Joe Crilly, a spokesman for the bookmakers, said: "The figures would not have been massive but they were massive for a novelty market."
Terry has spent his entire senior career at Chelsea, having made his first appearance in the 1998-99 season.
Barring a loan spell at Nottingham Forest in 1999-2000, JT has been at Stamford Bridge ever since.
The 78-cap England man has turned out 713 times for the club, scoring 66 times.
Terry will no doubt be hoping to help lead Chelsea to the Premier League title this season, in what would be his fifth crown.
