John Terry hopeful of Chelsea stay

Chelsea captain John Terry is confident that he will be offered the chance to extend his contract at Stamford Bridge.

The 34-year-old, who is out of contract this summer, revealed that he is yet to be offered a new deal.

The Premier League leaders tied Eden Hazard down to a five-and-a-half-year extension last week, and Terry acknowledges that the younger generation take precedence.

"No talks have happened yet but the club know my position. Hopefully I know theirs and it will get done," he is quoted as saying by Sky Sports News.

"I think we both respect the position. There are a lot more important players to sort out. Eden Hazard has just signed a new contract and, for me, that's the most important for the club.

"I want to stay and hopefully my performances are showing that, and they can keep me."

Terry has started 34 of the Blues' 39 games in all competition this season.
