Terry commits to Chelsea

Chelsea captain John Terry has finally ended speculation over his future at Stamford Bridge, by stating that he is 'totally committed' to the Blues.

The 28-year-old England skipper had been linked with Manchester City this summer, despite new head coach Carlo Ancelotti insisting that Terry was going nowhere.

Terry has now broken his silence to clear up the matter, with a statement reading: "There has been a lot of speculation recently about my future and I want to clear this up once and for all - I am totally committed to Chelsea and always have been.

"Chelsea have also made it clear to me consistently that there was never any intention to accept any kind of offer."

Meanwhile, Harry Redknapp has confirmed that he remains keen to bring Portsmouth striker Peter Crouch back to Tottenham, but insists a deal is still some way off.

Pompey boss Paul Hart said on Sunday that an agreement between the two clubs for the England international had been reached, but Redknapp remains cautious.

The Spurs boss also insists he wants to bring Real Madrid striker Klaas-Jan Huntelaar to White Hart Lane even if he manages to land Crouch.

Darren Bent continues to be linked with a transfer to Sunderland although Black Cats boss Steve Bruce currently believes Spurs are asking too much for the former Charlton Athletic striker.

Frustrated Hull City manager Phil Brown doesn't know what else he can do to entice new players to the KC Stadium.

The Tigers are one of the online favourites to be relegated this season and Brown has been rebuffed by several players as he attempts to strengthen his squad.

Michael Owen, Marc Antoine Fortune, Fraizer Campbell and Daryl Murphy have all rejected moves to City this summer and Fulham striker Bobby Zamora can now be added to that list.

Portsmouth manager Paul Hart hopes to bring at least six new players to Fratton Park before the new season starts in less than three weeks' time, with former Liverpool star Steve Finnan at the top of his list.

Finnan is currently with Spanish side Espanyol but could team up with the rest of the Pompey squad before they fly out to Portugal on Wednesday for the latest part of their pre-season work.

Denmark international Nicklas Bendtner has poured cold water on rumours linking him with a move from Arsenal to AC Milan.

The 21-year-old insists he knows nothing about the reports and is only interested in establishing himself in the Gunners first team.

Finally in Formula One, Felipe Massa is showing signs of recovery following surgery on a fractured skull sustained during qualifying for the Hungarian Grand Prix.
