New Bolton manager Owen Coyle insists he is not under pressure to sell Gary Cahill to free up transfer funds.
Cahill has a string of admirers after forcing his way into Fabio Capello's England squad, but Coyle is determined to maintain the services of the Aston Villa defender with the team locked in a relegation battle.
He told the Bolton News: "I don't have to sell anyone to generate a transfer budget.
"I believe that Gary Cahill, if he shows the qualities he has, can make the squad for the World Cup.
"That's personal motivation for him. He is a top player and hopefully we will see him at his very best."
