\"Johan Elmander joined Bolton in June 2008<\/span> <\/p>\n

Bolton boss Owen Coyle has already started making plans to replace striker Johan Elmander.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The 29-year-old, who has scored 12 goals so far this season, is out of contract at the end of next month and looks to be on his way to Galatasaray.<\/p>\n

Coyle said: “If Johan goes that will free up a lot of finance because he was our record signing and on a terrific contract.<\/p>\n

“That is money I can use to bring exciting young players to the club.”<\/p>\n

High on Coyle’s list is a ready-made replacement and in Daniel Sturridge, who is at the club on loan from Chelsea, he could have the answer if the deal can be made permanent.<\/p>\n

The 21-year-old has scored eight goals in 12 appearances since joining the Trotters in January<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Coyle said: “I would love to have players of that stature at the club and I will leave no stone unturned to do that. We all recognise how finance can help you.”<\/p>\n

As for Elmander, Coyle conceded: “Galatasaray have announced on their website they have agreed something with Johan. Do I expect him to leave? In my heart of hearts, yes.”<\/p>\n

Turkish giants Galatasaray say they have an “understanding in principle” with the Swedish international.<\/p>\n

Coyle added: “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.<\/p>\n

“These are the things you have to deal with as a manager. I am very comfortable with that.<\/p>\n

“I wish Johan well if and when that a move 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.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
