Coyle plans Elmander deal talks

olton boss Owen Coyle has revealed he plans to hold talks with Johan Elmander about a new contract at the Reebok Stadium. Elmander's current deal expires at the end of the season and he could leave on a free transfer.The club's record signing has caught the eye this season after previously failing to live up to his £10million price tag following his arrival from Toulouse in 2008.Coyle is determined to keep Elmander and he has praised the Swede for recapturing his top form after a difficult start to his Trotters career."We'll sit down with him and he knows that," Coyle told the Bolton News. "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."
