Chelsea legend John Terry backtracks and removes Premier League trophy from the £94 baby ape cartoon NFTs he is promoting after a legal warning from the top flight, despite dismissing the original report as 'absolutely plum'

Chelsea legend John Terry has removed the Premier League trophy from his non-fungible token (NFT) after the iconic piece of silverware was used in digital assets promoted by the former England captain.

This latest craze in the cryptocurrency world has seen footballers past and present jump on the bandwagon, allowing them to make money from digital creations. NFTs are approximately sold at 0.05 Ethereum (ETH), which is currently priced at £93.79, plus an additional transaction fee.

Terry, who now works as a consultant at Chelsea at an academy level, has been promoting cartoons of baby apes on his Twitter page, which included illustrated images of the different trophies he has won throughout his career.
