The attacking midfielder became the most expensive English player of all time when he moved from hometown club Villa to the Premier League champions for a whopping £100million transfer fee on August 5.
And as reported by The Sun, Jack took heed of John’s words when the Chelsea and England legend emphasised the prestige of playing European football to him.
He said: ‘I remember speaking to John Terry at Villa and he said when you stand there and hear that Champions League anthem there is nothing better.

‘It has been difficult watching (Champions League) games. I remember watching City v PSG last year and the first half was amazing. To be involved would be a dream come true.
‘When you see a club paying that much for a player it means they trust and value you highly and see so much potential. Now I just hope I can repay this football club by winning as many titles as possible — and winning that trophy we all want.
‘The club were so close to winning it last year, they were one goal away. That is exactly why I have come here. I look around the changing room and there is so much talent and depth and I fully believe we can win it this year.’
Jack, who made his City debut as a substitute in Saturday’s 1-0 Community Shield final loss against Leicester, and City will kick off their domestic campaign against Tottenham on Sunday August 15 looking to defend their title.
