Capello Recommends Cahill To Juve

Juventus are monitoring Gary Cahill as a possible long-term replacement for Fabio Cannavaro after getting a glowing reference from Fabio Capello. And Milan are also tracking the performances of the Bolton centre-back. The former U21 international, now 23, was called up to the full England squad for the World Cup qualifier against Kazakhstan in June after the withdrawal of Rio Ferdinand. Bolton slapped a £20m price tag on Cahill earlier this year after interest from Arsenal. He moved to the Reebok Stadium from Aston Villa in January 2008 for £5m.

The arrival of Croatian forward Ivan Klasnic earlier this month placed a question mark over Elmander's future, but Megson is happy to persevere. The Bolton chief said: "I am not ]ready to give up on Johan and nobody at this club is either. I really hope that goal relaxes him because the arrival of Ivan Klasnic will put him and Kevin Davies under pressure."
