John Terry to leave Chelsea….
Chelsea captain John Terry is not being offered a new contract and will leave the club at the end of the season. The 35-year-old defender, who joined the club at the age of 14, has won four Premier League titles, five FA Cups and the Champions League with the Blues. “Ideally I would have loved to stay, but the club’s moving in a different direction,” he said. Terry has played 696 times for the Blues and hopes to continue his career, but not with another English club. “I couldn’t play for another Premier League club. It will be elsewhere for sure,” added the former England captain. “I feel as though I’m in great nick, I’m playing great and I’ve got a couple of years to go. It’ll just be elsewhere. “The club will move on. No player is ever bigger than the club. No doubt they’ll sign one or two great centre-backs.”

The youngster often wears the garments low on his shin during games and has admitted the former centre back has advised him to wear them higher to match his team-mates. Iwobi said: “The manager [Arsene Wenger] hasn’t said anything about my socks but Steve Bould just did. He says that I should pull them up but I’m just comfortable like that. It’s just the way I play. “As long as I play well I don’t think he minds though.”

Chelsea accept Leicester’s offer for Remy….
Leicester City have reportedly had a £11.5m offer accepted for Chelsea striker Loïc Rémy.
