#3 Gary Cahill – 31

The English defender has shepherded the Chelsea defence superbly this season

Impressive performances for Bolton in the Premier League prompted Chelsea to sign English centre-back, Gary Cahill, in 2011, and the England international has developed into a world class defender for the Blues. The 31-year-old centre-back has been a regular starter for the Blues this season, featuring alongside David Luiz and César Azpilicueta in the Chelsea back three.

Cahill became the fastest player in the Premier League to win five major titles within a span of just three years when he lifted the Champions League, Europa League, FA Cup, League Cup and the Premier League trophies. Along with his defensive capabilities, Cahill can also chip in with a goal and is one of the finest headers of the ball in the Premier League; the English defender already has five goals to his credit in this campaign.

His tremendous ability to read the game has often helped Chelsea get out of difficult situations over the years. With John Terry coming close to retirement, Cahill could soon take up the role of captain of the Blues and fill the boots of the Chelsea legend on and off the pitch.
