Bolton goalkeeper Jussi Jaaskelainen is eager for team-mate Ali Al-Habsi to stay at the Reebok Stadium.

Blackburn boss Paul Ince is rumoured to be considering a transfer deadline day move for shot-stopper Al-Habsi, while Middlesbrough are also understood to be keen.

Jaaskelainen, though, wants his colleague to stay and fight for his place in manager Gary Megson's plans.

"Of course I'd like to see Ali stay here," Jaaskelainen told the Bolton News.

"It is down to the manager to decide who he wants to keep or not but I hope he stays because we want the best players here and he is a very good keeper."
