The Blues' legend also praised Frank Lampard and his squad's gameplay this season.

Former Chelsea captain, John Terry has given his approval to Chelsea to go ahead and sign Borussia Dortmund young sensation Jadon Sancho. The former England international believes that the 19-year-old can be a very good addition to Frank Lampard's squad and the youngster will have a lot of competition at Stamford Bridge.

It is clear that Sancho is looking to take the next step in his career and a move back to the Premier League looks very likely. The winger has been a livewire for Lucien Favre's men with 14 goals and 16 assists in the Bundesliga this season. Considering his recent performances, John Terry has no doubt in the abilities of Jadon Sancho but feels that he will have added competition at Chelsea among other top young talents.

But like I said, the ones that have come through, Billy Gilmour, Tammy, Mason, Reece James – I mean, it’s endless isn’t it. There’s been so many positives this season come through."

"I think every Chelsea fan since I came through the ranks, that’s all Chelsea fans wanted to see: the youth team players and young generation coming through and making their first-team debuts. And we’ve seen this in abundance this season," John Terry quipped.
