Stuttgart could make a late bid to hijack Abdoulaye Meite's proposed move to Bolton Wanderers.

Reports have suggested that the Ivory Coast international has already agreed to head to The Reebok Stadium for next season.

Meite is keen to leave Marseille and has expressed a desire to play in The Premiership, with Bolton long-term admirers.

But reports claim that Stuttgart are now considering a bid for the centre half after being impressed by Meite's World Cup displays.

The powerful stopper caught the eye during Ivory Coast's tournament debut and may now have another option to consider.

With nothing signed, as yet, between Bolton and Meite, Stuttgart's interest could disrupt Sam Allardyce's transfer plans.
