John Terry snubs Jorginho as he picks next Chelsea captain to succeed Cesar Azpilicueta

John Terry has snubbed Jorginho and named Mason Mount as the Chelsea player who he would love to see succeed Cesar Azpilicueta as the club's next captain.

The Spaniard currently wears the armband for Thomas Tuchel 's side, however, with his long-term future still up in the air, the Blues are considering their next leader. Club legend and former captain Terry has made his feelings known on who he believes should take on the responsibly and it comes as somewhat of a surprise.

Blues midfielder Jorginho has been widely touted as the man to succeed Azpilicueta as captain, however, Terry feels otherwise. The former England skipper named Mount as the player he would like to inherit the armband, claiming that decision would show "progression" at the club.
