Sven-Goran Eriksson has confirmed that Chinese sides are interested in a move for Chelsea skipper John Terry.
Now manager of Super League outfit Shanghai SIPG, the former England boss believes that the 35-year-old would be very successful in the Far East.
Speaking to The Sun, he said: ‘There is a lot of talk about John Terry in China. He has been one of the greatest defenders in the world for the last 15 years.
‘He is still doing very well and has a lot to offer. He is one of the most recognisable players in world football.
‘Chinese teams are looking for these big players. Great teams need great leaders.
‘They do not come much better than John Terry. With his skill, his experience, he would be great in China, I have no doubt about that.’

Terry is even thought to be interested in a move after visiting the country on a one man tour last June.
With his Blues contract ending in the summer, the defender could be set to leave Stamford Bridge if he isn’t offered a new deal.
