The Screamer - It's the talk of football

Bolton manager Gary Megson will today try to persuade Aston Villa defender Gary Cahill to move to the Reebok in a £5million deal. nThe fee is agreed with Villa but Cahill is uncertain about joining a club in relegation danger.

He is equally unsure about signing for another interested club — Sunderland — but with Villa manager Martin O'Neill ruling out a loan deal, Megson is hopeful of getting his man.

Transfer hunt: Gary Megson wants to bolster his defence

FORMER England captain Terry Butcher is in a straight fight with 34-year-old Celtic defender Steven Pressley to become Scotland boss George Burley's new assistant.

"We'll be having a meeting early next week to try to finalise things," said Burley.

"Both men are people I know well — they are experienced and top professionals."

FORMER Sheffield Wednesday chairman Dave Allen is helping to finance Chesterfield's move to a new 10,000 capacity stadium. The £13m development, which is subject to planning permission, could lead to leisure magnate Allen having a greater involvement with the League One club.
