Could Aston Villa really be considering a move for John Terry as Steve Bruce is pictured with the former Chelsea captain?

The future of John Terry remains uncertain after the defender confirmed that his 22-year stay with Chelsea would come to an end this summer.
Several Premier League clubs have been linked with the 36-year-old, with the London Evening Standard recently reporting that AFC Bournemouth are closing in on a deal.

However, the Birmingham Mail reported in May that Aston Villa had discussed the possibility of tempting Terry to the Championship and now a recent photo has sent fans into overdrive about that rumour.
That is because the former Blues and England captain has been pictured playing golf with Villa manager Steve Bruce – along with his brother, Paul, and Bruce’s son Alex (who is also available on a free transfer after leaving Hull City).

Whether or not a move to Villa Park was discussed remains unknown, for the time being at least, but supporters on social media would certainly like to see Terry in claret and blue in 2017/18.
