John Terry says Romelu Lukaku will fire Chelsea to Premier League glory

Earlier, Legit.ng reported that Chelsea legend John Terry has suggested Romelu Lukaku could fire the club to Premier League glory this season.

The Blues acquired the services of the Belgian during the summer transfer window, splashing about £97million to snap him up from Inter Milan.

According to Terry, Lukaku was the 'big one missing' in Chelsea's title charge last term, and his arrival gives his former side the advantage in the title race.

Terry mocks Man United after Manchester derby defeat to Man City

Meanwhile, Legit.ng also reported that John Terry has poked fun at former rivals Man United following their Manchester derby defeat to Man City on Saturday, November 6.

Man United were completely outplayed at Old Trafford as they put up another lacklustre performance in front of the home base.

An Eric Bailly own goal in the opening exchange of the encounter and Bernardo Silva's strike on the stroke of halftime condemned the Red Devils to a comprehensive defeat.

And Terry, who had only signed up for a Twitter account on Saturday wasted no time to have a dig at one of his former rivals.
