Bolton Wanderers have confirmed their interest in Hibernian midfielder Scott Brown, who is set to leave the SPL club in the summer.
The 21-year-old is on the wanted lists of several clubs either side of the border, with the Trotters keeping tabs on the Scotland international.
Assistant boss Ricky Sbragia told the Scottish Daily Mail: "I don't think there is any doubt Scott Brown is capable of playing in the Premiership.
"It all comes down to money at the end of the day and what kind of player we decide we need.
"What I would say is, you don't like someone to sign for someone else when you've not taken a serious look at them yourselves."
Meanwhile, Bolton boss Sam Allardyce has admitted that the club would entertain selling Nicolas Anelka if a huge bid came in for the France striker.
He told Sky Sports News: "Somewhere along the line you would think it will come along because Nicolas Anelka is a world-class player.
"If that's going to create a massive bonus for our football club in terms of selling him and allows us then to go on and buy more and more talented players, that's going to put this club's secure Premiership status in good stead for a number of years."
