English Premier League club Bolton Wanderers could be set to announce the signing of Denilson later today, according to a report in the British tabloid The Daily Star.

It is claimed that the winger has earned himself a contract with the Trotters having impressed manager Gary Megson while on trial at the club recently.

The Brazilian's brother told Gazetaesportiva.net: "He (Denilson) has undergone several tests and was highly praised by the staff.

"They said that, despite not playing for a month, he is in the same condition as the other players.

"Bolton board members told us that Denilson's situation has to be settled on Wednesday. I am optimistic, they gave him the key to the closet of the training centre."

The 31-year-old was highly regarded as a youngster with Brazilian outfit Sao Paulo and became the world's most expensive player when he moved to Spanish club Real Betis for €23.8 million in 1998.

The 68-time capped Brazilian winger, who was part of the world cup-winning squad in 2002, has another club lined up should the move to Bolton not go through.

"If they [Bolton] do not give us an answer then I am going to consider that the negotiations are over and, in this case, we have other proposal from another European club," his brother insisted.
