Bolton Wanderers boss Owen Coyle is reportedly interested in Guinea star Ismael Bangoura.
Wanderers have agreed a deal with Arab club Al Nasr for the 27-year-old, according to The Mirror.
Coyle is trying to rush through a work permit for Bangoura, but the deal depends on the timings of Guinea's showing in the Africa Cup of Nations.
Bangoura has featured for Le Mans, Rennes and Dynamo Kiev as a striker, winger and in midfield.
Bolton are currently 17th in the Premier League with 19 points from 22 games.
