Bolton Wanderers have been linked with a January transfer window move for Slovenia full-back Branko Ilic.
The 23-year-old right-sided defender is currently with NK Domzale in his homeland, but Ilic is hopeful of making the switch to England in the New Year.
He told the Daily Mirror: "I was in England for three days and had some medical tests. I trained with the first team and played a game for the reserves.
"I also met Sam Allardyce and watched the Chelsea game. I'm thrilled and I hope this transfer will go through.
"It would be a dream come true for me. I hope everything works out well."
Ilic has been with his current club for nearly two years, having started his career with Olimpija Ljubljana and has won 15 caps for his country to date.
