Cahill: Chelsea move was making of me

Gary Cahill feels his move to Chelsea has been the making of him.

Cahill moved to Stamford Bridge from Bolton in 2012 and has gone on to become a rock at the heart of the Blues defence.

"I think it's given me a platform to be seen a lot more," Cahill told Sport Magazine.

"No disrespect to Bolton, because it was fantastic for me there, but you might play on TV once every couple of months when you're there - people react as if you've just come on the scene when you do something well.

"I was playing similar football there, but Chelsea is on such a high platform in terms of people seeing you a lot more - we were on Sky every week and Champions League is all on TV, obviously.

"So people see a lot more of you. I do think I've improved over the past two years, because playing with and against the likes of JT, [Eden] Hazard and all these boys does improve you. I've progressed the way I've wanted to progress, but I want to keep going and keep pushing."
