Desailly predicts Terry will sign new Chelsea deal

John Terry will sign a new deal to remain at Chelsea, former club captain Marcel Desailly has predicted.

Terry claimed on Sunday his attempts to negotiate a new deal had been rebuffed by club executives, and the captain is now plotting a move at the end of the season.

Chelsea then released a statement on Sunday claiming they remain open to retaining Terry, dependant on the wishes of a new manager, with caretaker Guus Hiddink filling in until the end of the season after Jose Mourinho's sacking.

"This is a story that has not finished," Desailly told the Daily Express. 

"The club are saying that they are still negotiating. 

"I think they will probably renew. There is more talking to be done."
