Last updated : 14 December 2003 By Mark Heys
Bolton Wanderers and Tottenham Hotspur are being linked with a move for Nigerian winger Emmanuel Ekwueme who is out of contract with Polish club Wisla Plock in January.

A Sunday tabloid has reported the 24-year old left sided player would welcome a move to Bolton to link up with compatriot Jay-Jay Okocha during next months transfer window.

"I pray that the deal sails through so i can play with Jay-Jay Okocha" he said

Wisla have had problems with the player in the past and imposed a ban on him earlier in the year but if a move is made there is no one better than Sam Allardyce to resurrect a player's career.

Meanwhile Spurs are the latest club to be linked with Okocha and Manchester City are once again being linked to Bolton keeper Jussi Jaaskelainen despite Allardyce saying none of his players will be sold.
