John Terry urged to join Chinese Super League by Demba Ba
John Terry's Chelsea contract expires at the end of the season
John Terry has been urged to make a summer switch to China by former Chelsea team-mate Demba Ba.
The Blues skipper's contract expires at the end of the season and the former England defender told Sky Sports News HQ last month that he was still hoping for a new deal despite no indications yet from the club.
But Ba, who spent the 2013-14 season at Chelsea and signed for Shanghai Shenhua from Besiktas last summer, says he should join him in the Chinese Super League.
He told The Sun newspaper: "If Eden Hazard was to ring, I'd tell him not to be silly and stay where he is, but if John contacts me, I'd tell him, 'Get on the next plane over here. What are you waiting for?'
"John is still a top player that can perform in any of Europe's top leagues, so he doesn't need to come here. But, at the age of 35, he has nothing to prove to anybody anymore and if he can get one last huge contract here, it would be more than welcome to him I think.
"And it would be a once-in-a-lifetime experience to live in a completely different culture."
Demba Ba scored 14 goals for Chelsea during the 2013-14 season
Guangzhou Evergrande have recently signed Jackson Martinez and Paulinho, and are managed by former Chelsea boss Luiz Felipe Scolari, while Hebei China Fortune have Gervinho and Ezequiel Lavezzi.
And Ba says he is enjoying life in the Far East, adding: "The city is an amazing place. Whenever you walk around the new city, it makes you feel like you're in Europe to be honest.
"There is a false perception that China is backwards but some of the neighbourhoods here look better than in France or England."
