United, Arsenal, Inter and Fenerbahce chase Bolton ace !!!

Bolton keeper Jussi Jasskelainen is apparently attracting the interests of Premier League giants Man United and Arsenal as well as Turkish side Fenerbahce and Italian Champions Inter Milan. The rumours come after Jaaskelainen's agent, Peter Harrison said that he expects the Finn to leave the Reebok at the end of the season.

Jaaskelainen has been at Bolton for 10 years now but Bolton have had a poor start this season and after summer speculation about his future at the club, it now seems as though he is finally ready to leave.

“There are no talks planned with Bolton and various agents and clubs have been in touch with me from abroad and we will assess it in January,” he told setantasports.com. “We are very disappointed with the way talks went but we will just have to get on.“I think he will be leaving at the end of the season, I don’t think he will leave mid way through the season.”

Jussi is a quality keeper and I must say I'm surprised how long he has stayed at Bolton. Jaaskelainen is now 32 and I think it is time he moves on and experiences Champions League football and I think he is well capable of competing with Europe's best.
