Bolton boss Coyle hails goal scorer Cahill: Still no concrete offers

Bolton Wanderers boss Owen Coyle was full of praise for Gary Cahill after his goal scoring performance in victory at QPR.

Coyle maintains Cahill once again showed he has the quality to "play for anyone" with his performance - but insists there have been no formal bids for the England centre-back, who had been linked with a summer move to Arsenal.

"Gary Cahill has put himself in the shop window year after year," Coyle said. "I love having him in my team, but he could play for anybody - and I mean anybody.

"He has got feet which belong to a centre-forward, he has got pace, tremendous timing in the air."

Coyle added: "If anything concrete happens, Gary will be the first to know.

"Some of the stuff I read daily is embarrassing and has no foundation.

"I am so transparent and up front - five or six weeks ago there were a couple of notes of interest with Gary, but there has not been one firm offer.

"I am very relaxed about it, Gary knows that and that is why you go out and see the performance you did today."
