Johan Elmander set for contract talks
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.
