Mikel Alonso is enthusiastic about the possibility of playing
for Bolton next season, according to his agent.
The 27-year-old's representative, Inaki Ibanez, is currently in
Bolton discussing a possible move.
'Bolton have shown an interest in Mikel but no agreement has been
reached yet between the clubs,' Ibanez said.
'I am trying to negotiate what possibilities there are for Mikel to
play here next season.'
Mikel, brother of Liverpool midfielder Xabi Alonso, had a trial
with the Trotters during their pre-season training trip to Austria
last week.
'Mikel is really enthusiastic about the possibility of playing next
season in the Premier League,' said Ibanez. 'It would allow him to
be closer to his brother Xabi and be able to play in the UEFA
Cup.'
Mikel Alonso made his Primera Liga debut for Sociedad back in 2001
and has been a regular for the Basque outfit.
Real Sociedad - now managed by former Fulham boss Chris Coleman -
were relegated to the Segunda Liga last season for the first time
in 40 years.
