Chelsea skipper John Terry has urged new manager Andre Villas-Boas to move for Bolton Wanderers defender Gary Cahill.
The London Evening Standard says Cahill is their first choice to replace Bayern Munich target Alex having been recommended to the club by Terry. Chelsea want another English defender at the back having grown increasingly concerned by the kind of goals they conceded last season, especially from set-pieces.
It is believed Terry was asked his opinion on who he thought were the best young English defenders in the League and Cahill was at the top of his list.
The 25-year-old has just one year left on his contract, although Bolton are still demanding £17m for his signature, especially as Chelsea face strong competition from Arsenal and Tottenham.
