Chelsea have had some wonderful players over the last decade. But if you had to pick one who has been the most central to their success in that time, could you really look much further than John Terry? There have certainly been more skillful and more prolific players at the club in shorter bursts. But Terry epitomises what every top club needs to win trophies. That is a leader who is prepared to put their body on the line. Terry has those qualities as well as a lot of talent to boot. Chelsea will have no small task replacing him but latest reports suggest that The Blues have their eyes on player who might one day fill his boots. Jose Mourinho has ordered his scouts to keep tabs on Tyrone Mings as a potential long-term replacement for John Terry at Chelsea. The 21-year-old Ipswich defender is one of the hottest properties in English football, with Arsenal, Manchester United, Everton and Newcastle also interested. Mings is playing left-back for Ipswich right now but the 6ft 3in monolith is faced as a centre back and is drawing admiring glances from Manchester United and Arsenal according to the report. But Chelsea are said to be at the head of the queue. The 21 year old from Bath has played 33 hugely impressive league games for Ipswich since joining from Chippenham in 2012. He looks a like a star of the not too distant future.
