Terry hopeful over Chelsea future

Chelsea captain John Terry remains "very hopeful" he can extend his stay at the club beyond the end of the season.

The 35-year-old's future remains unclear after he said he would leave his boyhood club following the 2015-16 campaign, only for Chelsea to say they were open to offering him a new deal.

"I'm very hopeful," he said.

"I've been there 21 years and I'll never kind of give up until it finally happens. But, who knows?

"I've still got a lot to give, whether that's here [Chelsea] or somewhere else, for sure."

With their run, Chelsea have moved into 10th in the Premier League – just eight points off fourth spot.

"Guus has been phenomenal since he come in. Not only this time, but last time [in 2009] as well," Terry said.

"We can only focus on that and what he's doing at the moment. But he's doing a fantastic job, as are the players at the moment."
