Former Chelsea captain, Gary Cahill joins Crystal Palace as he pens ‘£75,000-a-week deal’

Premier League club, Crystal Palace has completed the signing of former Chelsea captain Gary Cahill.

The 33-year-old defender who was free by Chelsea at the end of last season when spending seven years at the club, joins the Eagles on a free transfer.

According to the transfer deal, Cahill confined a two-year deal value £75,000 per week with the club.

“I’m looking forward to the challenge,” said Cahill.

“I’m hungry to prolong my career as long as I probably will – I desire i am in great form whoever I play for.

“I’d prefer to suppose that I give it 110th and leave everything out there – thus hopefully that may be adequate for the manager, my team-mates and also the fans.”

Palace boss Roy Hodgson said: “Having worked alongside Gary throughout my time as England manager, i do know that he’s going to be a valuable quality and i am thus happy to be working with him once more.”

The former Bolton and Aston Villa defender won eight major honours with Chelsea.
