Chelsea skipper Terry would love Leicester to win Premier League

Chelsea captain John Terry has revealed he would love to see Leicester City win the Premier League this season.

The Blues currently sit 18 points behind the first-placed Foxes with 10 matches remaining.

With his own hopes of securing back-to-back titles all but dashed, Terry said he would be happy to see Leicester shake up the status quo by winning their first Premier League crown.

"What Leicester are doing is incredible to be honest and I am wishing them well to push on," Terry said, speaking at the London Football Awards.

"If it is not going to us, it would be great for them and it would be great for football. People do get a little bit tired of the same teams up there.

"People are really excited by what Leicester have done and it gives the smaller clubs a belief that with a few signings and a few right decisions, they can reap the rewards as well."
