Jussi Jaaskelainen has agreed a new deal
to stay at Bolton Wanderers.
The Finnish international is out of contract at
The Reebok Stadium and a host of clubs had shown an
interest.
Half-a-dozen Premier League clubs are understood to have made
contact, whilst continental giants such as Bayern Munich and
Galatasaray also expressed a desire to sign him.
However, Bolton have now persuaded Jaaskelainen to extend his
stay with The Trotters, which dates back to 1997.
Jaaskelainen's agent Peter Harrison has confirmed that a deal is
in place to keep the 33-year-old at Bolton.
"We have agreed terms," he told the website.
"The deal is for four years but it is not signed yet as Jussi is
away on holiday.
"He is very happy to be staying as he loves the fans and the
club."
