West Ham manager Slaven Bilic says he has not given much thought to making a move for John Terry but does think the former England captain has couple of seasons left at the top level.
'I feel I still have plenty to offer on the pitch but understand that opportunities here at Chelsea will be limited for me.
"I think he's got a lot to offer as a player in the Premier League".
After Chelsea's FA Cup semi-final against Tottenham on Saturday, Antonio Conte's side will play at least one game during the week for the remainder of the season.
Despite his lack of minutes this season, Wilkins does not think Terry's time in the English top-flight is over and believes a move to West Ham United could suit both club and player, with the Hammers' defence in need of major surgery.

I'm eager to carry on playing and so will be looking to continue with a new challenge.
"Then I realized who you were from your first speech right before our first friendly game vs @celticfc".
As the key cog in Chelsea's resurgence after its 2003 takeover by Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich, Terry has also won the Premier League four times, the FA Cup five times, and the League Cup on three occasions.

The last man standing of an incredible era for @chelseafc. In fact, I d put him up with any defender in world football of any era.
"He was, and is, a legend, not just for his talent but just as much for his desire to get the best out of himself and others around him".
And Drogba showed his appreciation for the Chelsea skipper in an emotional Instagram post which reflected on their time together, though he did jokingly add that he "didn't know who Terry was" when they first met.
40 John Terry has scored more goals than any other defender in the Premier League's history.
"Words can not describe the love I have for our football club and our unbelievable Chelsea fans".
Terry will follow in the footsteps of Frank Lampard, Didier Drogba and Petr Cech in leaving the club, bringing an end to the glory days from a decade ago.
