GARY CAHILL is set to feature for Bolton at Anfield tomorrow after the Reebok Stadium club turned down an offer from Arsenal that was “a million miles short” of their valuation of the player.
The 25-year-old is entering the final year of his contract and Gunners boss Arsene Wenger has been consistently linked with the England international.
Wenger is keen to bolster his defensive options - he is also thought to be interested in Everton’s Phil Jagielka - and has money available following the departures of Cesc Fabregas and Samir Nasri. But Bolton boss Owen Coyle says the two clubs are a distance apart in terms of their valuation of Cahill.
He told a press conference: “It is nowhere near our valuation as a football club of Gary Cahill.
“I had a chat with Gary prior to the Macclesfield game to explain what had taken place.
“Gary’s representatives had been made aware there had been a so-called offer, but given the amount that was talked about I don’t call that an offer.
“If I make an offer for someone I do it in writing so you know where you are.”
