Elmander leaving Bolton for OM

Sweden international striker Johan Elmander is moving a step closer to ending his Bolton nightmare, as he looks set to quit the club for a move back to France with Marseille.

According to reports, new Bolton boss Owen Coyle has told Elmander he can quit the club.

Reports of a £3 million offer being on the table don't appear to be too far wide of the mark, as according to a Marseille spokesman: "we are ready to sign Elmander if the price is right."
