Birmingham make Terry ‘good offer’

FORMER England captain John Terry has been made an offer by second-tier outfit Birmingham City, manager Harry Redknpapp revealed yesterday.

Terry, 36, is leaving champions Chelsea after 22 trophy-laden years and has attracted interest from Premier League side Bournemouth as well as Birmingham’s Championship rivals Aston Villa.

However, Redknapp told Talksport radio he had persuaded the Birmingham board to make an offer to the central defender, who has said he might hang up his boots altogether.

“He’s a fantastic captain and great leader,” Redknapp said.

“We’ve made him a good offer and we have done the best we can. It’s up to John now, but we would love him at Birmingham.”
