Chelsea to make Terry highest paid player on planet


Chelsea captain John Terry is set to become the world's highest paid player.

Billionaire Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich wants to reward his skipper with a five-year deal topping £130,000 a week.
That will see Terry take pole position in the pay league from new signing Michael Ballack, who agreed a £20million, three-year contract last week.
Talks will start as soon as defender Terry - who became a dad to twins last week - returns from England duty at the World Cup.
