Sky Sports pundit and England coach, Garry Neville has urged John Terry to remain at Chelsea. The former Manchester United defender insists the club captain should stay in the Premier League, rather than joining Steven Gerrard and Frank Lampard in the MLS.

The MLS is growing in popularity and is becoming an ever more attractive destination for ageing players.

Speaking to the Telegraph , Neville said: “Terry doesn’t need advice from me, but in these situations I would always say: relax, enjoy what’s to come, realise that 25 games for Chelsea is better than 45 for the Orlando Owls or the Tasmanian Tigers,”

“To stay at the club where you belong sounds better to me than wandering around the world to prolong your career. Terry should be at Chelsea until he is 36, 37 years of age.”

The Sky Sports pundit went on to add: “He might play only 20 games a season but they will be 20 very important the 200 training sessions will be crucial to the squad in maintaining that winning mentality,”

To stay at the club, John Terry may have to accept a different role. Despite playing every minute of every game last season.

“There is a reason why Ryan Giggs played until he was 40 and Paul Scholes made it to 38. They accepted the shift into a different phase of their career: a change Gerrard struggled to accept last season. It was a challenge, too, to Frank Lampard at Chelsea.

“It’s about acceptance and consultation. It cannot be that Terry either a) plays every game or b) leaves the club. “
