John Terry could be back at Stamford Bridge, only this time in quite an unordinary role

Former Chelsea defender and captain John Terry is exploring the prospect of buying a stake in Chelsea with co-controlling owner Todd Boehly open to new investment, the Daily Telegraph reports.

According to it, Terry and his partners are looking into making an offer for a 10 per cent stake, although it remains to be seen whether they can raise enough cash.

This is not the first time that Terry has looked into investing in Chelsea, having been part of a 'True Blue' consortium during the bidding process that saw Boehly and Clearlake Capital buy the club from Roman Abramovich for £2.5billion, plus £1.75bn in additional commitments.

It is unclear where the proposed 10 per cent stake would come from or whether Boehly would be prepared to reduce his equity to make room for Terry or a new investor.

Terry's representatives are still unwilling to comment on those reports.

Boehly hosted Terry in his box for Chelsea's victory over Luton Town at Stamford Bridge last month, but it is understood that was not related to investment talks and the pair only exchanged pleasantries on the night.

While building a better future, Chelsea have failed to ensure the tools to succeed today
