John Terry loan move to Bournemouth ruled out by manager Eddie Howe

Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe maintains there has been no move to bring in Chelsea defender John Terry on loan.

The Cherries had been linked with a temporary deal for Terry, who has lost his place under Antonio Conte's this season.

While Howe is an admirer of the 36-year-old former England skipper, and has seen his own defensive options depleted after Chelsea recalled Nathan Ake early from a season-long loan, he says no deal is currently under consideration.

"There have been no negotiations with Chelsea at all," Howe said at a news conference ahead of Saturday's Premier League trip to Hull.
