Bolton Wanderers are closing in on Real Betis midfielder Achille Emana.

Keen to keep playing top-flight football Emana is encouraged that talks between Betis and Bolton are progressing at pace.

"Everyone knows I love Seville but it is important to play in the top, rather than second division in any league," the Cameroon international told skysports.com.

"A decision will be taken very soon to satisfy all parties."
