Coyle hoping to persuade Cahill to stay

PREMIER LEAGUE: Bolton manager Owen Coyle will sit down with defender Gary Cahill before the summer break and outline his vision for the future.

The Wanderers boss hopes to keep hold of a player he described as his “prized asset”, despite speculation linking the centre-back with a big-money move in the close season. Coyle will speak to the 24-year-old, as he will other members of his squad, to spell out exactly where he sees their – and the club’s – future.

The Scot hopes it will be enough to persuade Cahill not to start thinking about a move away.
