Chelsea legend Terry set to join Spartak Moscow

The centre-back had been linked with a return to Aston Villa among other clubs, but has chosen to continue his career in Russia

Former Chelsea captain John Terry is set to join Spartak Moscow following his departure from Aston Villa, Goal understands.

The 37-year-old is currently undergoing a medical ahead of a move to the Russian Premier League side, where it is reported he will sign a two-year deal.

It is understood that Spartak moved for Terry after French centre-back Samuel Gigot was ruled out for the season with a serious injury, with the Chelsea legend available on a free transfer after his contract at Villa expired.
