R. Wilkinsas: Conte wants Terry to stay © pexels

Former London's "Chelsea" player and coach Ray Wilkins believes that from the next season, coach Antonio Conte, who will be taking over the reins of the "aristocrats", will want to keep captain John Terry within the team.

The Italian has signed a three-year contract with the capital club and will replace interim manager Guus Hiddink.

No offer has been made to extend the contract for another season to the 35-year-old defender, but Conte could change everything.

"John Terry is an exceptional player and will remain so for several more years, regardless of whether he plays for Chelsea or elsewhere," Wilkins told Sky Sports.

"Antonio will want to rely on his experience and seek help in adapting to the new team."

This season in the Premier League, Terry played 22 matches, scoring one goal and providing one assist.
