Bolton<\/a> boss Owen Coyle<\/a> admits Johan Elmander<\/a> is likely to leave the club after Galatasaray<\/a> claimed they have struck a deal with the striker.<\/p>\n

A statement on the Turkish club’s website revealed they had come to an agreement with the Swedish forward, who will move on June 1 when his contract ends.<\/p>\n

The statement on Friday read: “Galatasaray this morning sent a statement to IMKB (Turkish stock market) that they agreed with Johan Elmander in principle. We’ll inform the public once the final agreement is signed.”<\/p>\n

Despite the claims from the Turkish club, Coyle insists a deal has not yet been struck, but admits he expects the striker to leave.<\/p>\n

“Galatasaray have announced on their website they have agreed something with Johan,” Coyle said.<\/p>\n

“I have spoken to Johan and certainly nothing has been signed. That is not to say it won’t be signed, maybe in the next couple of weeks but not before Sunday.<\/p>\n

“Do I expect him to leave? In my heart of hearts, yes. These are the things you have to deal with as a manager. I am very comfortable with that.<\/p>\n

“I have always felt and always known given the dialogue chairman Phil Gartside had with his representative they were probably looking for a new option.<\/p>\n

“I personally wish Johan well if and when that comes about because he has worked ever so hard for me in training each and every day.<\/p>\n

“When he has worn that shirt he has given me everything he has got in a number of positions and worked his socks off for the team. He is someone I have a very good relationship with.”
