Gary Cahill is poised to complete his move to Bournemouth following a medical today.
The 35-year old is a free agent after leaving Crystal Palace and has opted to sign a one year contract with the Championship side where manager Scott Parker is targeting promotion.
Parker believes Cahill’s vast experience can prove invaluable to his young squad. The pair were England team-mates under Fabio Capello and Roy Hodgson and faced off in the Premier League on several occasions.
The centre-back has not played in the second tier since a loan spell with Sheffield United in 2008, but Cahill has lifted two Premier League titles, two FA Cups, two Europa League trophies and the 2012 Champions League with Chelsea since then.
