On loan Liverpool striker El-Hadji Diouf wants to convert his temporary stay at Bolton Wanderers into a permanent arrangement at the end of the season.

The Senegal international has become a huge favourite at Bolton since joining them in August and claims that he will have no hesitation in prolonging his Trotters career.

"I want to stay here, I'm very happy and focused and I feel I can play and do things for this club." he said

It is beleived that Liverpool want in the region of £5 million for the player whom they paid Racing Club Lens a fee of £10 million for in 2002. Bolton on the other hand are hoping that the asking price can be reduced even further to around the £2 million mark.
