Gary Megson has asked Newcastle United if he can take Kevin Nolan back to the Reebok Stadium on loan.
Bolton's boss sold the midfielder during the January transfer window for £4.5m but is keen to re-sign him if the Tyneside club want to slash their running costs still further.
Nolan, who would be welcomed by Bolton fans, currently earns £45,000-a-week and Newcastle's owners may be keen to off-load to help their cash flow.
Megson is also waiting for a response from Werder Bremen regarding their forward, Hugo Almeida.
