Bolton step up Jonny Howson interest

Bolton have stepped up their interest in Jonny Howson, after the Leeds United midfielder admitted that he would not necessarily stay at the club. Leeds have already offered Howson a contract, but the player has yet to accept.

Bolton manager Owen Coyle is a fan of Howson, and reportedly tried to sign the player during the last transfer window.


News that Howson may not put pen to paper on a new contract at Elland Road will be of interest to Coyle.


When asked about his new Leeds deal, Howson said: "These days people want to hear answers there and then but sometimes it takes a bit of time. I have got until the end of the season for it to get sorted out. We are still in discussions."
