Megson sure big guns know all about Cahill

24 September 2009 14:27
Bolton manager Gary Megson believes Gary Cahill is being observed by Europe's top clubs and has backed him to secure a place in England's World Cup squad. Cahill, 23, has attracted admiring glances from England boss Fabio Capello and earned a call-up to the squad for the World Cup qualifiers with Kazakhstan and Andorra in June. Full international honours beckon for a player who has been linked with a move to Italian giants Juventus, as a possible long-term replacement for Fabio Cannavaro, and AC Milan. Megson has no doubt the centre-back's star will continue to rise and said: "I've heard the rumours but I would expect Juventus, AC Milan, Real Madrid and every club in Europe to know about Gary Cahill. All the big teams over here will be aware of him too because there are not enough good players about. "Whether Fabio Capello has recommended him to another club I very much doubt. But if you ask anybody for an opinion of Gary Cahill then I'm sure they will all say the same thing. "Gary is a top, top player. He is 6ft 3in, he is quick, he has ability and he is a great lad."
