Spanish international full-back Juanfran is hopeful of concluding his loan transfer from Besiktas to Bolton Wanderers within the next couple of days. The former Valencia and Celta Vigo star said that discussions between the two clubs are at an advanced stage and that a move to England appeals to him greatly having acted on advice from compatriot Ivan Campo, a Wanderers regular.

"The negotiations are very advanced and I do not believe that Besiktas have many problems, Sincerely I want the definitive transfer but the things are positive and I should soon be in England.

"The Premier League is very attractive and for me it is as good a league as in Spain. To play in the Uefa Cup is an excellent adventure.

Juanfran feels that he will have no problem in adapting to fitness demands of the Premier League as he has kept himself in good shape during the twelve months that he has been exiled in Turkey.

"I have spoken with Ivan Campo and he wants me to make the move. That is always positive English football is very quick and I am physically very fit. I do not think that it will be much of a problem to adapt to the Premiership.

"I am hoping for a quick solution. If it is possible, this week."
