Bolton will look to replace veteran midfielder Ivan Campo, as the 33-year-old will leave the Reebok once his contract expires at the end of the season.

His fellow Spaniard Mikel Alonso, brother of Liverpool midfielder Xabi, is also likely to be shown the door this summer after failing to make an impact following his move from Real Sociedad.

And Ireland could be an ideal replacement, as he is high up on the list of potential exits from Eastlands following several incidents on and off the field this season.

Sunderland have also been linked with the Republic of Ireland international, who is rated in the vicinity of ₤4 million.
