Bournemouth are reportedly in pole position to sign Chelsea defender John Terry when his contract expires at the end of the season.

  • The England international had been tipped to leave the Blues last summer but he opted to pen a fresh one-year contract on a significant pay cut.

    Following a few months of regular action, Terry has largely struggled for first-team action with his only appearances coming in the Cup games.

    Terry is due to part ways with the Premier League leaders during the off-season, but he is still understood to want to prolong his stay in the Premier League.

    According to The Mirror, the Cherries are favourites to secure a Bosman move for the centre-back after having failed with a transfer approach during the winter period.

    Terry is nevertheless expected to wait until the end of the season to make a final decision with the Blues on course to lift their fifth Premier League crown.

    Chelsea take on Tottenham Hotspur in the FA Cup semi-finals this weekend, and Terry could find himself on the bench with Antonio Conte unlikely to take any risks with unnecessary changes.
