Tottenham Hotspur are set to beat Arsenal to the signing of Bolton Wanderers defender Gary Cahill.
Arsene Wenger believes that while Cahill is a top quality defender, he is overpriced and was able to secure Per Mertesacker and Andre Santos for a similar fee to the amount Spurs are expected to pay for Cahill.
“I’ve always been a big admirer of Gary Cahill,” said Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp told Sky Sports this morning.
The only barrier preventing the Cahill transfer from going through is that Spurs hope to sell Sebastien Bassong to raise funds for the deal, with a surprise return to Newcastle United on the cards.
