Experienced Spanish defender Juanfran is being linked with a move to Bolton, after his club Besiktas confirmed that preliminary talks where underway. The 29-year old has spent just one season in Turkey following his move from Celta Vigo last Autumn, and he is now thought to want to move on in an attempt to find more regular first team action elsewhere.

Juanfran, full name Juan Francisco Garcia, has also played for Valencia and Levante in a 10-year career which has included full international honours with Spain.

Meanwhile, the club are continuing to be linked with a move for their former loan star Bernard Mendy, who is beleived to be unsettled with life at Paris Saint Germain.
