'Ukrainians are being bombed and murdered... while you celebrate Abramovich': John Terry is slammed over hailing Chelsea's owner as 'THE BEST' by Labour MP Chris Bryant and furious football fans

John Terry has been heavily criticised by a Labour MP for praising Roman Abramovich as 'the best' following his announcement he has put Chelsea up for sale.

The Russian billionaire released a statement on Wednesday evening in which he said he is looking to sell the Premier League side and that he is writing off the £1.5billion debt he is owed by the club.

It came as Abramovich - who has reported links to the Russian regime - is seeking to distance himself from Vladimir Putin and sanctions imposed on Russia by the west over its devastating and illegal invasion of Ukraine.
