Bolton Wanderers boss Owen Coyle is seeking face-to-face talks with Barcelona midfielder Thiago Alcantara.
The Mirror says Coyle is ready to fly out to Spain for face-to-face talks with Barcelona starlet Thiago as he tries to clinch an ambitious £5million move.
Wanderers have asked for a meeting with Barca's money-men, with Coyle keen to see the Spain Under-20s ace personally so he can try to persuade him to come to England.
Alcantara has been offered to Arsenal in a swap for Cesc Fabregas and is also in Barca's package to land Udinese's Alexis Sanchez, however Bolton are in with a straight-cash offer.
