Gary Cahill's move to Chelsea could be completed within the next 48 hours, according to Bolton manager Owen Coyle.
Bolton have accepted a bid for the centre-back, thought to be in the region of £7m, but personal terms are yet to be agreed.
Chelsea boss Andre Villas-Boas said this week that club and player were "miles apart" from agreeing terms.
But Coyle claimed: "There's a chance the deal can be concluded by the end of the week."
Reports have suggested that Manchester United were interested in signing the 26-year-old England international, who is out of contract in the summer.
