Gary Cahill is leaving Chelsea this summer, and there was no surprise when it emerged that Aston Villa and West Ham United are reportedly interested in the defender.

According to The Mirror (print edition, page 59, April 17, 2019), West Ham are interested in bringing the Englishman to the London Stadium this summer (click here to read more), while The Sun claimed of interest in the 33-year-old centre-back from Villa.

Cahill is past his prime and is 33 years of age, but the former Bolton Wanderers star can still do a very good job in the Premier League for two more years.

However, West Ham and Villa are now reportedly facing competition from Arsenal for the services of the central defender.
