Striker Johan Elmander insists he has no plans to leave Bolton Wanderers despite reports to contrary.

The Sweden striker has failed to justify the £8million fee the Trotters paid to sign him from Toulouse in June 2008.

Elmander has scored just 11 goals in his two seasons at the Reebok Stadium and ended the last campaign behind Ivan Klasnic in the pecking order.

However, despite reports claiming he will be offloaded this summer, the 28-year-old striker insists he has no interest in leaving Bolton during the upcoming transfer window.

"Everyone can't tell me what to do, that's up to me to decide," he told the Bolton News.

Speaking about a recent meeting with manager Owen Coyle, he added: "He didn't say that I was leaving, it was a positive meeting and he said that he was really pleased with what I have done and that he wants to continue to co-operate with me.

"I have one year left with Bolton and really feel that this is the thing. It's now that things start.

"He is honest and I appreciate that. He is the best manager I've had."
