The pros and cons of West Ham moving for Gary Cahill

West Ham United are reportedly keen to sign Gary Cahill this summer as the upcoming campaign draws nearer to its kick-off.

The defender is available on a free transfer following his release from Chelsea at the end of last season, and he could yet be poised for a stay in the Premier League. 

According to claims from Football Insider, Hammers boss Manuel Pellegrini is plotting a move for the centre-back, who made only eight appearances under Maurizio Sarri at Stamford Bridge last term.

The 33-year-old is, as per the report, not West Ham’s number one target as they bid to land a centre-back before the window slams shut next week. 

However, with time running out, it seems Cahill is a man who is under consideration, and he could be set for a short trip across London for the 2019/20 season. 

So, what are the pros and cons of West Ham landing the experienced defender? We have taken a look.
