Bolton manager Owen Coyle has admitted defeat in his attempts to persuade Gary Cahill to pen a new contract at the Reebok Stadium. Cahill had been linked with a move to Premier League rivals Arsenal and Tottenham but a move was not completed in time.
Gary Cahill's contract at Bolton will expire next summer, and a number of teams have been linked with signing the England centre back on a Bosman transfer.<br />
Even Barcelona are reportedly tracking Cahill, as they look for a long term replacement for Carles Puyol.<br />
Coyle's efforts to keep Cahill at the club appear to have failed, and the defender will leave in the coming months.<br />
"It's probably better sooner rather than later,"said the Bolton boss, when asked about Cahill's transfer away from the club.
