El-Hadji Diouf is eager to quit Bolton for a club with
Champions League ambitions - but insists the Trotters have
overpriced him at £10million.
The Senegal striker claims Tottenham, Celtic and Lyon have all made
bids for him, as have two other unnamed clubs.
Diouf said: "I don't want to be going just for going's sake.
"I want to go to where I will be happy but Bolton want a lot of
money. I want to play in the Champions League or at a club wanting
to be there next season."
Bolton have lost all three of their Premier League games this
season, putting new boss Sammy Lee under pressure.
Speculation also surrounds the future of Diouf's fellow Bolton
striker Nicolas Anelka, who has also been valued at
£10million.
And Diouf made it clear he would only have a long-term future at
the Reebok Stadium if the club spent heavily rather than cashing in
on its best players.
However, a move to Celtic Park would be a major surprise given the
forward, then with Liverpool, received a two-match ban after
spitting at Celtic fans during a Uefa Cup quarter-final tie in
2003.
Speaking ahead of Senegal's friendly with Ghana at Millwall's New
Den stadium on Tuesday, Diouf said: "If Nicolas goes I will be very
disappointed.
"We must keep Nico as we have been doing very well with him. We
need to go up to the next level and keep our good players as well
as buying some more.
"We need to get five good players in and find big players. We have
missed Tal Ben Haim but we also need midfielders and
strikers.
"This season we have the Carling Cup, the FA Cup and the Uefa Cup
as well as the Premier League, so we must have a big squad.
"We don't have a big squad like last season and I'm not happy about
that. I want to play in a good team."
Diouf added: "We are not happy to have made a start to the season
like this but we got out of a similar position under Sam Allardyce
two years ago.
"Now we have a new manager, things are not going well but we just
have to keep working hard.
"Sammy Lee is a different guy but he's a good manager. We are not
having much luck under him now.
"I have known him for a long time since he was head coach at
Liverpool under Gerard Houllier.
"But for the first game he put me on the bench - I don't know why.
When I came on I did well every time to prove I want to do
well."
