London, Oct 7: Chelsea are ready to let go their veteran defender Gary Cahill in January amidst interest from Premier League side Southampton, according to reports in England.
The England international has just featured four times for the Blues in all competitions under Sarri so far this season and has fallen behind Antonio Rudiger and David Luiz in the pecking order.
Instead of warming the bench, the 32-year-old English international has reportedly asked the club to let him go in January if any offer of regular first-team football arrives and as per reports, now Mark Hughes's Southampton have shown interest in the player.

Gary Cahill, a £7m signing in 2012 and won everything at Chelsea. Won’t go down as a legend like JT & Lamps but should be remembered for what he achieved. It is the right time for him to leave but he should never be disrespected, especially by our own fans. Thank you Gary! 👏 pic.twitter.com/hRdmAM4sha
