Bolton to have choice of Chelsea youngsters as part of Cahill deal

Bolton Wanderers boss Owen Coyle can have the pick of Chelsea youngsters on-loan as part of defender Gary Cahill's move to Stamford Bridge.

The People says Cahill is poised to sign for Chelsea in a £7million switch.

Coyle hoped to have one of Andre Villas-Boas's squad men as part of the move, but Premier League rules stop Wanderers from taking a second player on loan from one club in the same season.

Bolton had Gael Kakuta for the first half of the campaign and, although he flopped and has gone back, it means they cannot have another just yet.

However, Villas-Boas will let Coyle have a Chelsea fringe man next season. Josh McEachran and Ryan Bertrand are among candidates.
