Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur to battle for Gary Cahill

Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur are ready to battle it out for the signature of Gary Cahill in January.

Both sides will hope to sign the Bolton Wanderers defender for a cut price due to his contract ending at the end of the season, according to The Sun.

Chelsea are thought to be making the first move with a bid of around £7m.

Spurs have already failed with an attempt to capture the 25-year-old over the summer.
