Bolton Wanderers are eyeing Chelsea midfielder Josh McEachran.
Gary Cahill is expected to move to Stamford Bridge for £7m and Andre Villas-Boas, a close friend of Owen Coyle, has offered the Bolton manager rising star McEachran for the rest of the season.
The 18-year-old midfielder is tipped for the top at Chelsea but AVB wants him to undergo the same grounding as Sturridge, with Coyle and Bolton set to reap the rewards.
Coyle, who admits his side will have to do some financial 'juggling' in January, said: "The big clubs know they can trust us with their players."
