Paul Clement has confirmed he will talk to John Terry about the possibility of joining him at Swansea this summer.

Chelsea club captain Terry will leave the Premier League champions at the end of the season after a glittering career at Stamford Bridge and is yet to confirm what his next step will be.

Earlier this week the 36-year-old refused to rule out the possibility of retiring from the game and Clement, while admitting he does not know what Terry will do, confirmed he does plan to talk to him.

"I am not sure," he said when asked if a move to the Liberty Stadium could be on the cards. "We will have a conversation. I have known him a long time. But I do not know what his thinking is, whether he will carry on? There is talk it could be his last game or he could go on, whether here in the Premier League or abroad."

Swansea saved themselves from relegation at the weekend when their win at Sunderland on Saturday was followed by Hull's defeat at Crystal Palace 24 hours later.

With the pressure now off Clement says the mood in the camp is good.

“The atmosphere has been really good this week, particularly since that result came in on Sunday and we’ve had a couple of days to enjoy but you have to move on quickly," he added.

“We have a game to prepare for and once that is done it is about getting some rest and recovery, of course, but planning and preparing for another season in the Premier League.”
