Vaz Te, who is close to full fitness after a lengthy lay-off, held talks with Gaziantespor and visited the club after Bolton agreed a fee with the Turks for the striker.[LNB]However, after much deliberation he decided to snub the chance to move to Turkey.[LNB]"It is true I had an offer from Gaziantespor in Turkey, but in the end I rejected the offer," Vaz Te told skysports.com.[LNB]"I went over to Turkey for talks with the club and everyone there was really nice to me and I was overwhelmed by the reaction towards me.[LNB]"I passed a medical and they made me a good offer, but at this point in my career I did not think it was the right move for me."[LNB]Cologne have also been showing an interest in the 20-year-old and Vaz Te admits he is unsure of his long-term future at Bolton.[LNB]"With Bolton accepting an offer for me, I am not sure about my future at Bolton," added Vaz Te.[LNB]"But at the moment I am a Bolton player and I will continue to do my best for them until I am told otherwise.[LNB]"I am very open-minded and if an offer comes in that is acceptable to Bolton, I will look at it.[LNB]"Obviously if I was to leave Bolton, my priority would be to stay in England, but I would also consider offers from anywhere.[LNB]"If nothing happens before the close of the transfer window I would also look at a possible loan move if I am not playing regularly at Bolton."[LNB]The talented forward believes he is close to full fitness after nine months out with a serious injury and he is keen to show he is back to his best.[LNB]"I am feeling good at the moment and I am back training with the first team," noted Vaz Te.[LNB]"I feel I am two weeks away from being fully-match fit and I am focused on getting back to playing again."[LNB][LNB]
