Jay-Jay's Bolton bombshell
The Nigerian midfield maestro has been discussing a new deal at The Reebok Stadium, as he is out of contract in June, but his ambition remains to play on a higher platform for UEFA Champions League contenders.
Indeed, Okocha has asked for Bolton to show some understanding if he does move on, if he feels he has achieved all he can with the Carling Cup finalists.
"I'm very ambitious and I think I'm doing well," he told Sky Sports News.
"I'm quite happy at Bolton but you can never say what will happen.
"We'll just have to wait and see what will happen but I'm very ambitious.
"If the club is right for me, I will think about it. You know, in football, things happen and, if I wasn't doing well for Bolton, they wouldn't want to keep me so, if I feel I have done enough there, I have to move on and I hope they understand the situation.
"It's hard when you think you've found a family, a nice place, but, for me, as well, the interest in football is you never know what will happen."
Okocha has reiterated a desire to play for Bolton's local rivals Manchester United, should the opportunity arise.
"It's every player's dream to play for Manchester United," he added. "You can't blame Louis Saha (for going there).
"It might be the only chance to ever play for a club like Manchester United so I think he made the right decision.
"We all dream of playing for the best clubs in Europe. Of course, they have more advantage than the small clubs because they can buy out the contracts.
"I'm happy with what I've done so far but I still believe I can do more. There's no limit to success, I believe, once you work hard and believe in yourself you can go places.
"When I first came it was what are you doing in Bolton, what are you doing in The Premiership?
"People thought I couldn't cope with the pace. People thought I couldn't cope with the mentality. People thought I couldn't cope with the weather.
"But I'm glad I've met that challenge and know the target for myself is to achieve a lot."
