Bolton Wanderers manager Owen Coyle insists he has received no contact from Liverpool regarding star defender Gary Cahill. It has been reported that Rafa Benitez is set to offer £15million (€17.25m) for the centre back if he is given money to spend by his debt-ridden club.
If new buyers are found for Liverpool after they were put up for sale by co-owners George Gillett and Tom Hicks last week then the probability of a bid for Cahill will increase, while Lee Chung-Yong has also been mentioned as a target.
But Coyle is adamant that there has yet to be an approach from officials at Anfield, who could be looking towards the future amid concerns over the longevity of 32-year-old Jamie Carragher.
"I don't know anything about it," the Wanderers boss, who succeeded Gary Megson in January. "No-one has spoken to me.
"There was also speculation about Liverpool and Lee Chung-Yong, wasn't there?
"I can assure you there has been no dialogue (with Liverpool) at my level. And I hope I would have been told had it gone any higher."
