"Aston Villa are pleased to announce John Terry as captain. Terry will be skipper for the 2017/18 campaign," the club said in a statement on their website.
Terry will wear the armband for the first time in a pre-season friendly against third-division Shrewsbury Town later on Saturday.

The ex-England defender left Chelsea at the end of last season after 22 years at Stamford Bridge, where he won five Premier League titles, five FA Cups and the 2012 Champions League.

JUVENTUS TURN DOWN CHELSEA'S BID FOR HIGUAIN.

The Old Ladies of Italian football Juventus have turned down a bid by the English Champions Chelsea for their main marksman Gonzalo Higuain. The Italian giants turned down a whooping fee of ₤100 million. 

Chelsea manager Antonio Conte is looking for a replacement for the Spaniard Diego Costa as he has already made it clear to him that he is not a part of his plans for the team moving forward. The Blues need to secure a clinical poacher as soon as possible.

Should the Blues put in an improved bid for the Argentine or ply their trade elsewhere. Let us hear your suggestions and opinion.

EXCHANGE DEALS! COULD THIS MATERIALIZE?

With the ongoing saga between Real Madrid and Manchester United as to who secures the services of goalkeeper Degea in the upcoming season,the Red Devils manager has added a whole new twist. Jose Mourinho is looking to release his first choice keeper if the European Champions are willing to release defender Raphael Varane in an exchange deal.

The Europa League winners who have been very active this transfer window are looking to widen their options with their pool of players as they prepare for their Champions campaign most especially. We hope to see if this deal indeed materializes. And who do you think stands to benefit from this swap. Lets share opinions.

OFFICIAL!!!! CHELSEA FINALIZE BAKAYOKO DEAL

 The Blues manager; Antonio Conte will breathe a huge sigh of relief as his side have secured one of the major signings on their list of players they have been pursuing during this transfer window. Tiemoue Bakayoko is the latest signing of the London side as they earlier boosted their defensive arsenal by signing German defender 'Antonio Rudiger'.

Chelsea signed the Frenchman from Monaco for a fee speculating to be around £40m. His contract with the blues is due to expire in five years(2022). "I am very happy to be here and join this great team" he said in an interview. "I look forward to evolving under this fantastic coach and alongside so many great teammates", he added.

In my opinion, I think this is a step in the right direction for the club as they seek to beef up their squad precisely their midfield and defense. Bakayoko is a great midfielder and according to statistics will fit in just fine into the squad. Well, we can only wait to see how things pan out. What do you think about this signing for the English Champions? Good or Bad?
