Boss Owen Coyle is aiming to agree a new contract with Bolton Wanderers' record signing Johan Elmander, who has started the new season in fine style.

The 29-year-old Sweden international has found the net four times this term, while his all-round game has impressed Coyle and ensured that he is likely to stay at the Reebok Stadium beyond the end of the season.

Coyle told the Bolton News: "We'll sit down with him and he knows that. I can't say it'll be today or tomorrow, but he knows I want him at the football club.

"He's got everything in his locker to be a top player - the very best.

"He's got great mental strength because he's been panned from pillar to post because he came in with a big transfer fee.

"But I've shown the belief I've had in him by playing him week in, week out.

"He knows how much I think of him and I'm flattered that he's said is how much he enjoys working with me."
