Meriem is currently a free agent after leaving Monaco and recently admitted he is keen to secure a deal in the Premier League.[LNB]He has been offered the chance to train with Bolton as Megson considers possible replacements for Sean Davis, who is out for the season with a knee injury.[LNB]Megson is not guaranteeing a contract for Meriem, who turns 30 on Sunday, but is prepared to see if the former Bordeaux schemer can fill in for Davis.[LNB]"He's out of contract, so we'll just have a look because we're in a situation with what has happened with Sean where we could do with another body in there if it can be done," said Megson. [LNB]"We're not saying we're going to do anything, but he'll come over, all being well, and spend a few days training with us." [LNB]The Trotters have also been linked with a move for Newcastle midfielder Smith, but while being a fan of the player, Megson is not planning an approach.[LNB]"I'm an admirer of Alan Smith, he's a terrific player, but there's been nothing because the transfer window is closed. [LNB]"I don't know where all these things come from, but it's not here," added Megson in the Bolton News.[LNB][LNB]
