Premier League boo-boy, El-Hadji Diouf is a January target for form Bolton boss Sam Allardyce according to the Sunday Mirror. Diouf has been linked with a move away from the Reebok stadium after a poor start to the campaign by Bolton and Magpies boss Allardyce is said to be very keen on bringing him to St James' Park.
The Senegal midfielder was said to be upset by the departure of Allardyce from Bolton at the back end of last season and the 26-year old would be open to a move north. Allardyce has come under pressure in recent weeks after an average start to the new season but Big Sam has identified Diouf as a player that can change the Magpies fortunes.
I think Diouf is a decent player but I'm not sure the Newcastle faithful will be too happy with signing him. He is a very conterversal character and is hated by pretty much every Premier League club. I think he probably will leave Bolton in January but I think a lot of Newcastle fans will be hoping it's not to them.
