Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe is reportedly interested in signing Chelsea captain John Terry on loan and according to Daily Mail, Howe hasn’t given up on signing Terry.

A report by Daily Mail claims Eddie Howe believes he can persuade Terry to join Bournemouth on loan until the end of the season with John Terry set to meet him before the end of the week.

Howe sees Terry as the natural replacement for Ake’s left-sided centre back role.

Terry is reportedly expected to turn down the opportunity of going to Bournemouth on loan because he believes lifting the title will be the perfect way to say goodbye to Chelsea fans.
