# Pundit says Terry should move to Bournemouth on loan

Gerry Francis says there is a possibility that John Terry could leave Chelsea on loan this month, with Bournemouth interested in the club captain.

Speaking about Terry, while on Sky Sports, as reported by the [Daily Star](https://www.dailystar.co.uk/sport/football/577367/Chelsea-John-Terry-Bournemouth-Gerry-Francis-Antonio-Conte-transfers-gossip-Premier-League), Francis claimed the move could work for him.

> John would be a great asset to any club so I don’t see any negatives from a loan point of view.

A player like Terry could certainly have a positive impact on a team like Bournemouth, and having had very limited League appearances this season, it is possible that Terry may seek regular first-team football.

The former England international continued by saying:

> If there was an avenue in terms of him going on loan and not leaving his beloved Chelsea, I think that would be a possibility for him.

Such a move would come as a shock, but having seen Arsenal midfielder, Jack Wilshere make an unlikely move to Bournemouth at the start of this season and flourish, it wouldn’t be wise to rule out a similar move for the Chelsea captain.

Terry has previously stated his reluctance to play for another Premier League team, but a short-term move to a team that isn’t a direct rival to Chelsea could be a viable option for him. Terry’s contract is up at the end of the season and regular game time between now and then may extend his career.

It is being [reported](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2017/01/11/john-terry-wants-stay-chelsea-fight-fifth-league-title-despite/) that Terry is unlikely to leave the club on loan, with the defender focused on staying at Stamford Bridge and aiding the club’s title push this season.
