Bolton boss Coyle says Arsenal target Cahill will only go for right price

Bolton Wanderers boss Owen Coyle admits they could still lose defender Gary Cahill before the transfer deadline.

The Trotters rejected a bid from Arsenal last week and are bracing themselves for a further approach before Wednesday's transfer deadline.

Manager Owen Coyle said: "If something happens prior to Wednesday and Gary is to leave the club then I, as a manager, will wish him all the very best. He is a great lad.

"But if it doesn't then Gary is all heart and he will be ready to give everything for Bolton Wanderers.

"Gary wants to play at the highest level and there is nothing wrong with that ambition and he has been a terrific servant for Bolton Wanderers.

"The bottom line is, if someone out there has a price that I think is the right value for Gary Cahill and they make an offer, then there is a chance business will be done.

"If they don't, there is nothing to talk about."

Cahill struggled throughout the defeat to Liverpool and Coyle accepts the uncertainty over his future was probably behind that.

He said: "That had an effect on Gary today and he will know that.

"He didn't have his best game but there were a number of players like that."
