Chelsea seal Cahill deal

Sunday, 15/01/2012

Chelsea have sealed their expected deal with England defender Gary Cahill.

The official announcement of his move from Bolton is expected to be confirmed shortly.

The club's agreed a deal – thought to be around £7m – a few days ago and it was then up to the player to agree personal terms.

Chelsea boss Andre Villas-Boas said: "Gary is a player of tremendous technical qualities for a central defender, which is what we like, because of our possession when we build up from the back."

Cahill, 26, is expected to play alongside his international colleague John Terry with Brazilian Alex set to leave Stamford Bridge.
