Qatari club Al-Arabi SC are set to make a lucrative offer to Chelsea's John Terry.

According to the Daily Mirror, Al-Arabi boss Gianfranco Zola is eager to lure the Blues skipper to the Qatar Stars League and has been given backing to make a big-money offer.

It is believed Zola feels his connection with Terry, stemming from their time spent together as players at Stamford Bridge, could prompt the 35-year-old to choose Qatar over Major League Soccer or the Chinese Super League.

Terry has not yet been offered a new contract at Chelsea and on Sunday indicated that he would leave the West London club at the end of the current season.
