Jussi Jaaskelainen is being tracked by a host of Premier
League clubs, after talks over a new deal at Bolton ended without
an agreement.
The Finnish ace is one of the most highly-regarded goalkeepers in
England, but after 10 seasons at The Reebok Stadium his future does
not appear to be with The Trotters.
Jaaskelainen's agent Peter Harrison has confirmed that the contract
offer which was rejected, has now been withdrawn by the club.
The 32-year-old is out of contract next year and is free to talk to
other clubs from 1st January - and clubs such as Arsenal,
Newcastle, Middlesbrough and Aston Villa are understood to be
closely monitoring his situation.
"Nothing is happening at the moment, the talks have stopped and the
contract offer withdrawn - that is where we are at," Harrison told
the website.
"It is only natural that clubs would be looking at Jussi - he is a
fantastic professional and one of the best goalkeepers in
Europe.
"And of course he would be interested in the likes of Arsenal and
Newcastle, which player wouldn't be?
"But we will just have to see what happens, nothing has been
decided yet and you never know what will happen in football."
