Diouf: Leaving the Trotters

Diouf: I'm leaving Bolton April 02 2008

Bolton forward El-Hadji Diouf insists he will leave the Reebok Stadium in the summer regardless of the club's league status.

The Trotters are currently fighting to stave off relegation with six matches left in the season.

However, the Senegal international is adamant he will be leaving in the summer - despite having over a year left on his current deal with Wanderers.

Diouf told L'Observateur: "If Bolton stay in the top division or not, I will not stay next year for sure.

"Teams are interested in me; an agreement between three parties is the only thing missing and I will leave in peace.

"Whether Bolton remain in the league or not, it is my last year. But it does not prevent me from respecting and admiring Bolton."

The former Liverpool hitman claims that five clubs from around Europe are interested in his signature, but insists he wants to stay in England.

The African misfit added: "For the moment, four or five clubs are very interested. They come to see me every weekend. I do not want to reveal their identity, I prefer to make a surprise of it and when the moment comes.

"My priority is to stay in England. But Spanish and Italian clubs are following me.

"For the moment, I am concentrating on trying to do everything to prevent Bolton from being relegated. We are trying to get out of the relegation zone as quickly as possible."
