AVB reveals problems with Cahill deal

GARY CAHILL’S move to Chelsea from Bolton is not a foregone conclusion after Andre Villas-Boas revealed the parties were “miles apart” in their negotiations.

Cahill appeared set to become Blues boss Villas-Boas’ first January signing yesterday after the club agreed a fee with the Trotters, believed to be in the region of £7million.

But the 26-year-old’s transfer hung in the balance last night, with one stumbling block understood to be the player’s salary, and Villas-Boas warned Chelsea would turn to other targets if an agreement could not be reached.
