Bolton are believed to be keen on bringing discarded West Ham United striker Ilan Araujo to the club.
The Brazilian played an important role in helping the Hammers stay in the top flight last season but was not offered a new deal and is now in search of a new club.
There are offers coming from Turkey but Bolton boss Owen Coyle wants to bring Ilan to Reebok Stadium if he can fit him in his budget.
It is also understood that Coyle is keen on Espanyol winger Valmiro Rocha, worth around £300,000.
