Bolton<\/a> boss Owen Coyle<\/a> has confirmed that Chelsea<\/a> have made a move for their star centre-half Gary Cahill<\/a>.
<\/span><\/p>\n


Although the Trotters are currently languishing in the relegation places in the Premier League, the club could be open to January negotiations for the England international as his contract expires in six months.<\/p>\n

Earlier this week, Chelsea manager Andre Villas-Boas confirmed Chelsea’s interest in Cahill, and his Bolton counterpart has confirmed that the London club are in talks about signing the defender.<\/p>\n

\u201cRegarding Gary Cahill, there has been dialogue between ourselves and Chelsea. He is a top player and is fully focused on Bolton,\u201d Coyle told reporters on Friday.<\/p>\n

Bolton have benefited in recent years through loaning Chelsea players – notably Daniel Sturridge last season, while Gael Kakuta is currently on loan at the Reebok Stadium.<\/p>\n

Chelsea are currently short in the defensive department thanks to injuries to David Luiz and Branislav Ivanovic, whilst Alex was transfer listed last month.<\/p>\n

However, Villas-Boas admitted he needs to make a decision on the future of the Brazilian centre-back.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou know that we have taken a decision this season regarding the central defenders, regarding Alex,\u201d he told reporters.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe haven’t decided yet what we are going to do with the Alex situation.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have to make the wisest decision, be it Alex, be it Cahill.\u201d<\/p>\n
