Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho says John Terry will get a deal for next season.

Terry is out of contract in June, but remains a mainstay of Mourinho's Barclays Premier League leaders.

"It's a formality," the Portuguese said.

"There are no doubts that he is going to get another contract. I know that, he knows that.

"We in the club, in the board, we know that and I think also you have to feel that. Without us confirming anything, you have to feel that.

"He's a very important player in the team so the next contract sooner or later will come."
