Megson warns Gunners over Cahill
Bolton boss Gary Megson has warned suitors Arsenal
that it would take in excess of £15million to prize defender Gary
Cahill away from the club.
Cahill signed for the Trotters from Sheffield
United in January 2008 and has impressed since his £5million
switch, this season demonstrating a number of commanding
performances in defence.
So impressive has Cahill's form been for Bolton, reports have
suggested the 23-year-old could be a target of Arsenal, who are
said to be in the market for a physical stopper this summer.
Megson, though, has every intention of retaining Cahill's
services and revealed the club are keen to extend his stay at the
Reebok Stadium.
He said in the Daily Mirror: "Gary is under contract and we are
currently in the process of negotiating a new, improved deal for
him.
"He's the best young centre-half in the country by an absolute
street and I've been delighted with him again this year.
"I want to build the team around him for the next few
seasons.
"I can understand why the big clubs are interested in Gary, but
it's going to take an offer over and above what we received for
Nicolas Anelka from Chelsea."
