Villa target Terry watches Spartak clash following failed summer move

John Terry is still without a club following his departure from Aston Villa at the end of the season.

The experienced defender opted against renewing his deal at the club and decided to seek pastures new. However, he has yet to decide on where his next destination will be, prompting speculation.

Terry appeared to be all but set to complete a switch to Spartak Moscow earlier on this month. However, the defender pulled the plug on his proposed move to Russia, adding yet more scrutiny surrounding his future.

Villa are believed to still be keen on completing a deal for Terry, with Steve Bruce out to add further quality and experience to his defensive ranks.

Terry’s future remains uncertain, though, and speculation has once again surfaced this evening with the former England captain being pictured with supporters prior to Spartak Moscow’s defeat to Rostov.

The defender’s appearance at the Russian Premier League fixture has been regarded as somewhat peculiar, following his decision to snub a move to Spartak only recently.

Has Terry had a change of heart and decided that playing for Spartak is the next step in his career? Only time will tell.
