Cahill could join Blues exodus
Print Edition
CHELSEA defender Gary Cahill admits he could follow John Terry out of Stamford Bridge if he doesn’t force his way back into the starting line-up on a regular basis.
Terry revealed on Sunday that he is set to leave Chelsea at the end of the season after being told by the club’s hierarchy that he won’t be offered a new deal when his contract expires.
After starting just two league games since November, Cahill has grown disillusioned with his slide down the pecking order behind Terry and Kurt Zouma. “I did have a good chat with him, he was very approachable and it was beneficial, very positive,” Cahill said of a recent meeting with interim manager Guus Hiddink.
“Obviously I want to be at the club. I signed a four-year contract a couple of months ago so that shows I want to be here. I’m settled here, I’ve had a lot of success here and my family are settled here.
“But ultimately, I feel like I need to play football matches. I’ve always been that way; it’s always been in my make-up to play a high percentage of games.
“It’s a positive thing; you get people criticizing players who are happy to sit on the bench and pick up their money but that’s certainly not me. I want to be out there and be a big part of things if I possibly can.”
Terry’s revelation that he is on the way out could be a boost to Cahill’s hopes of forcing his way back into the line-up in the long-term. But for now the 30-year-old will have to wait and see if he can force his way in.
