Bolton manager Owen Coyle has reminded his sought-after defender Gary Cahill to focus on performing well where he is, saying that he has not yet received any offers for the player.
Arsenal is believed to be among the suitors for the 25-year-old who has impressed at the Reebok Stadium since joining in 2008.
But Coyle told Sky Sports News: “I know there is interest from other clubs, nothing concrete in terms of offers, but all these elite clubs know he is an outstanding player so we will have to wait and see what happens with that.”
The former Aston Villa man has started to break into the England national setup during his time at Bolton, having earned his first caps last season.
And his manager is keen to make sure that Cahill is focused on performing to the best of his ability while he remains on the books.
“I think it is well known the belief I have in Gary Cahill, the quality he has, but that's the nature of football,” Coyle said after Cahill scored the second goal in Bolton’s 2-0 pre-season victory over Bury.
“It only takes a phone call for it to all change but I have said to him he is a Bolton Wanderers player, he is well paid by Bolton Wanderers and he has to make sure he is focused to do the job in hand until something was to change.
“He is such an outstanding player that we are very fortunate to have him.”
Cahill has made over 100 league appearances for the Trotters since joining three summers ago.
