Bolton manager Owen Coyle has hinted he is open to offers for on-loan goalkeeper Ali Al-Habsi.[LNB]The Oman international is currently at near-neighbours Wigan where he has deposed former England goalkeeper Chris Kirkland as first-choice. [LNB] In demand: Goalkeeper Ali Al-Habsi has impressed during his loan spell at Wigan [LNB]Latics boss Roberto Martinez appears keen to keep Al-Habsi, who is 29 later this month and has two years left on his contract at the Reebok Stadium, but his form this season has alerted other clubs. [LNB]No 1: Jaaskelainen is first-choice at the Reebok [LNB]With Jussi Jaaskelainen a permanent fixture for Wanderers, restricting Al-Habsi to just 10 Barclays Premier League appearances since his arrival in 2006, Coyle appears content to let the player move on. [LNB]'If a bid comes in we'll sit down with Ali and his advisors and look at it,' he told the Bolton News. [LNB]'We can't really talk about it until it happens. We know he's been playing well but we knew he was a top goalkeeper when we loaned him out. [LNB]'He needed to play and it was a great deal business-wise for the club and it allowed Ali to play Premier League matches as well as enabling us to promote Adam Bogdan, who is also an excellent keeper. [LNB]'It was a win-win situation for us. If a bid comes in January, we'll look at it, and do the right thing for the football club.'
