Gus Poyet believes the chance to bring John Terry to the Chinese Super League this summer is a 'great opportunity'.
The Chelsea skipper will leave Stamford Bridge when his contract expires at the end of the season, but he has confirmed his intention to play on elsewhere.
A number of Premier League sides are interested in Terry, but Shanghai Shenhua boss Poyet is keen to be reunited with his former team-mate in the Far East.
The pair played alongside each other briefly at Chelsea as Terry was breaking into the first-team before Poyet moved to Tottenham in 2001.
