Cahill prepared to stay with Chelsea and fight for his place

Cahill prepared to stay with Chelsea and fight for his place

Chelsea defender Gary Cahill has no intention to leave the club this summer and will fight for his place under Maurizio Sarri, according to claims from the Telegraph.

England international Cahill was regularly used by Antonio Conte during his two-year tenure at Chelsea but has since been ignored by Sarri, who has favoured a defensive partnership of David Luiz and Antonio Rudiger.

This has prompted speculation surrounding Cahill’s future at Chelsea. The likes of Galatasaray have been linked in recent times but the experienced centre-back appears to be intent on winning his place back with the Blues.

The 32-year-old remains Chelsea’s club captain and is one of the Blues’ most experienced players in the first-team squad. However, it seems Sarri does not view Cahill as a part of his plans for the future in West London.

Cahill is currently far down the pecking order under Sarri but is keen to stay for the time being. It’s claimed by the Telegraph, though, that he will reassess his options when the January transfer window arrives.
