West Ham United have been linked with Chelsea defender John Terry in recent times.
West Ham United boss Slaven Bilic has kept his cards close to his chest, when asked about his side’s reported interest in Chelsea defender John Terry by Football.London.
Terry’s contract at Chelsea is set to expire in the summer, and the Blues have confirmed that they won’t be offering him a new deal.
As a result, the veteran centre-back is set to be looking for a new club in the summer.
West Ham have been touted as a potential destination for the 36-year-old, and when asked about the rumours today, Bilic would not rule a move out.
He said: “He is great. He is a great leader, basically.”
Terry is thought to have a wish to stay in the Premier League, rather than move abroad.
The veteran has been linked with a move to China and America, but it is thought that he does not want to relocate.
West Ham fans have previously suggested that they don’t want Terry to move to the London Stadium (HITC), but Bilic is known to be looking out for a new centre-back in the summer.
If Terry was to switch to West Ham, he would be in competition with the likes of James Collins, Jose Fonte, Angelo Ogbonna and Winston Reid for a first-team place.
