Bournemouth manager has said that there have been no talks with Chelsea about a loan deal for John Terry. It was reported earlier that Bournemouth have inquired the availability of John Terry after Nathan Ake was recalled from loan.

“No. No negotiations with Chelsea at all,” said Howe. “I admire John Terry greatly as a footballer, he’s one of my favorite ever central defenders.”

“When I looked at people when I was playing to try and emulate and get close to, he was one that I followed but there’s been no discussions and no meeting. Nothing.”

John Terry, 36, has started only four Premier League games under Antonio Conte.
