Reports last night have claimed that Chelsea legend John Terry is keen on purchasing a stake in the club he made his name at.

According to The Telegraph, the Englishman is interested in acquiring up to 10% of the club as part of an investment group, and Todd Boehly is not against the idea.

Ever since Boehly took over the club, there has been a bit of backlash from supporters for what has certainly been a unique method of running the side.

The scattergun approach to the recruitment in his first window at the club certainly raised some eyebrows, however the appropriate recruitment as far as staff goes has suggested there is somewhat more of a plan in place now.

Any unpopularity surrounding the American has stemmed mostly from the fact that he is not Roman Abramovich, who ruthlessly bankrolled the club to the heights they have reached over the last 20 years.

Chelsea fans should be excited by Boehly reports

When asking supporters their main issue with the way things are being run, many will say they have never felt further from the club they have loved for however many years.

The sale of some academy products this summer has certainly contributed to that. Mason Mount, Callum Hudson-Odoi and Lewis Hall were seen by many at various points as the future of the club.

However, bringing on board one of the most popular figures in the club’s history is certainly a big step in the right direction in terms of getting some sections of the fanbase back on board.

Terry being so connected to the supporters will help them get a voice in some of the biggest decisions made at the club, an opportunity that has been non-existent up to now.

One of these could be the future of their home ground, with reports claiming that there are plans in place for them to purchase land next to Stamford Bridge ahead of an increase in capacity.
