Report: Gary Cahill wants to leave Chelsea over Euro 2016 fears

Chelsea defender Gary Cahill is reportedly considering leaving the Premier League club just one month after signing a new four-year deal at Stamford Bridge.

The 30-year-old has struggled to hold down a regular first-team spot this season as captain John Terry and Kurt Zouma are preferred as the first choice centre-back pairing.

According to Reuters, Cahill has found himself at a "crossroads of his career" and is concerned that his lack of first-team action will impact his chances of earning a spot in the England team for this summer's European Championships.

The defender is likely to be challenging Everton star John Stones for a spot in Roy Hodgson's England lineup, and he is reportedly considering his future with Euro 2016 in mind.

Cahill has featured just 12 times for Chelsea so far this season.
