After Gary Cahill’s late goal helped Chelsea secure a 2-1 vcitory over Stoke City on Saturday, Chelsea boss Antonio Conte revealed Cahill can also play as a centre forward.

“For me, Gary, he can play also as a centre forward,” Conte said.

“He has a good quality, he is acrobatic, he is very good during corners and set-pieces.”

31-year-old Gary Cahill has been instrumental for Chelsea this season with his goals and solid performances in a defence that has conceded the least Premier League goal.
