John Terry releases statement confirming he is part of consortium bidding to buy Chelsea

John Terry has confirmed he is a part of The True Blues consortium attempting to buy a stake in Chelsea from Roman Abramovich.

The former England defender and Stamford Bridge legend, 41, has thrown his weight behind the supporter-backed group which is aiming to purchase a 10 per cent share of the club. Terry is hoping to safeguard Chelsea's "history and heritage" having made 717 appearances for the West Londoners between 1998 and 2017, winning five Premier League titles and the Champions League.

Former Chelsea Women defender Claire Rafferty is also involved with The True Blues, who have made contact with Raine Group, the bank overseeing the sale of the club. Final bids were submitted on Friday and Terry has outlined his hope to be a "welcomed investor" in the new hierarchy.
