Grant tips Terry stay
Former Chelsea boss Avram Grant admits be would be 'surprised' if John Terry were to leave the club.
The Blues skipper has been strongly linked with a move to free-spending Manchester City of late, with Mark Hughes publicly expressing his admiration for the England international.
Chelsea have been quick to dash the speculation, insisting Terry is not for sale, but the rumours persist.
Grant, who was in charge of Chelsea when they reached the 2008 UEFA Champions League final, believes Terry would find it difficult to leave Stamford Bridge after spending his entire professional career in West London and is confident the centre-half will not be heading to Eastlands.
"I would be surprised," he said.
"I don't know what happened since I left, I can only speak from my time at Chelsea.
"He was a very good captain and a very good player. But I'm not at Chelsea now so I don't know what has happened.
"I don't think John Terry cares about money. You see how he is, he is desperate to win games and to do it in the right way."
Ex-Israel national coach Grant went on to reveal that Terry played an integral role at Chelsea during his time at the club, helping him to dispel the sense of disappointment which had followed Jose Mourinho's departure.
"I must say that I came to Chelsea at a very difficult time with the atmosphere around the team, the image of the team, the results were not so good," he added.
"One of the reasons that we recovered so well was the players and John Terry was a wonderful captain. I will never forget that.
"I think you see people by how they behave in difficult times. It is the same for all of us, coaches and players. If you saw how John Terry behaved at that difficult time when I arrived at Chelsea - which everyone knows the situation was very bad in many aspects - you could see he was very, very good for the team.
"But what happened now I must say I don't know, and it's not for me to say."
