Coyle faces battle to keep Cahill

BOLTON manager Owen Coyle concedes he will have a difficult job hanging on to Gary Cahill this summer but insists the club will not be short-changed if they decide to sell the defender.

The 25-year-old England international has been linked with the likes of Liverpool, Manchester City and Arsenal and the Wanderers boss has no doubt he is capable of succeeding at the highest level.

However, having seen Blackburn’s England U21 star Phil Jones join Manchester United in a deal which could be worth £20m, Coyle is well aware of the value of his centre-back.
