Ibrahim Set To Extend Bolton Stay

Last updated : 17 December 2003 By Mark Heys
Bolton Wanderers look set to offer Ibrahim Ba a fresh deal until the end of the season after the former French International impressed sufficiently during his initial three month stay with the club.

The 30-year old former AC Milan, Marseille and Bordeaux midfielder joined the club on trial during the tour of Malta in July and this lead to a short term deal being offered to him in August and it now seems he has done enough for manager Sam Allardyce to extend the player's stay with the Lancashire outfit.

Ba has been an integral part of the Bolton team to reach the Semi Finals of the Carling Cup and has recently forced himself into contention in the Premiership appearing on the bench for the last few games.
