Could John Terry make the switch from Chelsea to West Ham? According to Hammers manager Slaven Bilic, it's not impossible.

Terry recently announced he would be departing Stamford Bridge at the end of the 2016-17 season, ending a 19-year tenure at Chelsea but not quite closing the chapter on his playing career, as the former England captain said he's not looking to retire just yet.

As such, Terry could make a move to another Premier League outfit, and Bilic was coy about the possibility of bringing on the 36-year-old at West Ham, telling reporters, "We are going to see," according to ESPN FC.

"I'm a big admirer of John, he is one of the best that ever played, not only in that position but in general," Bilic said. "He won everything, he did everything and we are talking about an England captain, a true leader.

"We are pretty well covered in that position, we have quality and we have experience, but we will see.

"You never say never."
