Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has ruled out a January bid for Bolton defender Gary Cahill, and claimed that the Trotters were greedy in previous negotiations.
Wenger is a known admirer of Cahill and has tried on numerous occasions to bring him to the Emirates, but says he no longer has an interest in the Bolton player.
Cahill is out of contract in the summer so could be sold for a cut-price fee in January, though Frenchman Wenger says he will not be getting involved in any negotiations with Bolton.
"Cahill is good enough to play Champions League, but he is not someone I would be interested in," Wenger was quoted as saying by SkySports.
"I have got five central defenders - [Laurent] Koscielny, [Sebastien] Squillaci, [Per] Mertesacker, [Thomas] Vermaelen and [Johan] Djourou. Of this five, four are international players.
"We were in the market in the summer, but at that time they [Bolton] were greedy."
Wenger brought in numerous players in the summer and despite still being some way off the Premier League leaders he claims he is not looking to sign anybody when the window re-opens in January.
"In football you rule very few things out, because it depends if you have seven injuries until January.
"However, at the moment we have a big enough squad to cope."
