John Terry reveals Brøndby ambitions

Oct 17, 2014

Brøndby IF football club could have a formidable defensive duo in the future after John Terry revealed that he would consider following Daniel Agger to the Danish club in the western suburbs of Copenhagen.

Terry is on friendly terms with the chairman of Brøndby's board Jan Bech Andersen, who is reportedly keen on bringing Terry to the Danish capital. And Terry wouldn't be averse to a potential move in the twilight of his career.

”It could happen – one day,” Terry told TV2 Sport. ”In the weekends after Chelsea matches, the first thing I check on is how Brøndby has performed.”

”I want all the best for the club and for Jan. He is so passionate about the football club and he has already changed a lot and they are moving forward. To me, that's fantastic to see.”

Contract expiring soon
Terry has another connection with Brøndby as he is currently a mentor for Denmark's under-21 starlet Andreas Christensen, who joined Chelsea from Brøndby in 2012.

The 33-year-old England defender has played over 400 games for Chelsea since joining them in 1998. His contract with The Blues is set to expire at the end of this season.

A move to Brøndby by Terry would come as an even greater surprise than when Daniel Agger returned home from Liverpool in August.
