Chelsea captain John Terry has admitted he is excited by the possibility of Ronaldinho joining him at Stamford Bridge.

The Blues have been linked with a British record £50million raid on Barcelona to sign the Brazil international.

Chelsea's billionaire owner Roman Abramovich has reportedly held meetings with the player's representatives and Terry would love to see the double world player of the year join him in the Stamford Bridge dressing room.

"It was exciting seeing the link with him and it would be a great acquisition to get a player of that ability in," the England captain told The Sun.

"He would give us an option if he does come and it would be great for the Premier League to have a player like Ronaldinho here.

"He was close to going to Manchester United a few years ago but, for me personally and for everyone at Chelsea, it would be great to have him with us.

"I'd like to think he could fit into the team, though he'd have to learn about the defensive duties expected of everyone.

"Once you've realised that it's about a team and defending as well, you can attack as well and he can give us something that not many in the world can give us.

"I suppose if he's doing what he's so good at going forward, then perhaps the manager will let him off a little bit at the back, but we'd have to see."
