Chelsea want Blackburn's Jones

Chelsea are hoping to bring the next John Terry to Stamford Bridge.

Blackburn Rovers centre-half Phil Jones is making waves in English football and plenty of bigger clubs are showing interest in the 18-year old.

Blues boss Carlo Ancelotti is one of those interested and sent top scout Frank Arnesen to make a personal check on him in the Rovers' clash with Wigan Athletic on Saturday.

The England U21 international has started all 11 games for Sam Allardyce so far this season after making a total of nine appearances last term.
