Bolton Wanderers will not stand in Gary Cahill's way should a major club come calling this summer, according to manager Owen Coyle.

The 24-year-old England World Cup hopeful has been one the most consistent performers for the Trotters during the past two seasons and has recently been linked with a £10million summer transfer to Liverpool and Arsenal.

"I have always said, regardless of what club I am at, that if there comes a time when any player outgrows the football club, I won't be the person to stand in their way," said Coyle.

"I said it to my Burnley lads when I was there - if there is something better for them out there, then they would go and blossom. That will be the same with Gary Cahill.

"I have got everything crossed that Gary gets to the World Cup because if he does he will be terrific, if he is allowed the opportunity.

"And if that means that he is elevated to a position where they are all going to clamour for him, then good luck for Gary Cahill.

"He is comfortable on the ball, he has got pace, he is terrific in the air and he is a goal threat.

"For me, Gary Cahill is the full package - and he is only 24, and getting better."
