Gunners set to resume defender chase

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has admitted his admiration for Bolton center-back Gary Cahill and has refused to play down talk of chasing the defender's signature again in January.

The Gunners were linked with Cahill's services throughout the summer but Wenger reportedly submitted an official bid less than half of Bolton's valuation, which subsequently led to a public bust-up with Trotters boss Owen Coyle.
