Bolton Wanderers talented player Jay-Jay Okocha has proved his commitment to the club by asking for a new deal, according to certain sources.
JAY-JAY Okocha did more than just underline his undoubted talent this week. He is now looking to sign a new deal with Bolton Wanderers and proved he did not take country before club by staying back for the clashes against Portsmouth and Villa.
"These have been very difficult weeks for me," he admitted after his super show against Villa. "I played under massive pressure but I kept pushing, trying to make sure the team was in a better position for when I came back."
Bolton Wanderers official have admitted, though, that they will have to give Jay-Jay a week off for resting when he returns from the African Nations.
"We're going to have to give him a week off when he gets back," he said. "He'll need time to recover from the climate, the heat, the lower tempo of the games he'll be playing in . . . he'll need to pick up the pace again and that will take time."
