John Terry insists he is fully focused on Aston Villa.

The Chelsea legend, who serves as an assistant to Dean Smith at Villa Park, has been linked with Derby County.

“I've seen the links with other jobs but I'm 100 per cent concentrated on Villa,' Terry told the Daily Mail.

“I couldn't have wished for a better manager to learn from than Dean.

“The gaffer has a great knowledge of the game and I loved working and learning from him last season. He's very inclusive with the coaching staff and he's created an environment where everyone wants to improve. It's infectious.

“I help the lads with unit work or with individual sessions but their appetite to learn is excellent. I can be watching the game back afterwards thinking we need to improve on that when a player will text and say 'I wasn't happy with that in the 58th minute, can we go over that on Monday?'

“It's a massive club with huge fan base and I just hope we can find our feet quickly in the Premier League and give a good account of ourselves."
