Chelsea boss Andre Villas-Boas has confirmed interest in Bolton Wanderers defender Gary Cahill.

Villas-Boas denied reports Bolton had accepted a £7million bid from Chelsea but confirmed Cahill, who is out of contract next summer, was a potential target.

"We are aware of Gary's contractual situation," Villas-Boas said.

"His talent is never in question. He is an interesting player for the club."
