Blues silent on City ‘tapping’ of Terry

THE Premier League yesterday confirmed they had received no official complaint from Chelsea over Manchester City’s pursuit of John Terry, as Mark Hughes continued his public courtship of the England captain.

With Emmanuel Adebayor joining a summer influx of talent to Eastlands which already includes Carlos Tevez, Roque Santa Cruz and Gareth Barry, City boss Hughes must now focus on his defence.

Terry, the Chelsea skipper, has been identified as his number one target and an offer of around £30 million (€37.4m) was recently turned down.
