Chelsea identify Newcastle captain Lascelles as new Terry
Posted Sunday, April 01, 2018 by Tribalfootball.com
Chelsea are ready to bid big to land Newcastle United captain Jamaal Lascelles.
The Mirror says Chelsea have identified Newcastle skipper Jamaal Lascelles as the next John Terry.
The Blues will make a £30million move for the 24-year-old central defender in the summer after being impressed by his leadership skills and no-frills defending.
Lascelles has grown in stature since joining the Geordies in August 2014 from Nottingham Forest in a double deal with keeper Karl Darlow that saw both players loaned back to the former European champions for one season.
He has become a mainstay of manager Rafa Benitez's fight against relegation this season and the Toon will be reluctant to lose a player who has been close to an England call-up.
