Chelsea captain Terry full of praise teammate Cahill

Chelsea captain John Terry is full of praise for defensive partner Gary Cahill.

Having played alongside some of the very best defenders during his time at the club, including Marcel Desailly, William Gallas and Ricardo Carvalho, the skipper is well placed to assess Cahill's performances of late.

"He's been very good," Terry told chelseafc.com. "I had a great relationship with him for England when we played together a few times and I think he's one of the best defenders, not only in the Premier League but in Europe and the world at the moment.

"He's still young and he's still learning but he's added so much to his game, he also pops up and scores big, vital goals for us.

"Technically he's great on the ball, very quick, he's strong, athletic and very composed. He seems to keep getting better with every game."
