Wanderers favourite Jussi Jaaskelainen has rejected a new deal, according to his agent.

The Finland international will now play out the final year of his contract at the Reebok Stadium after turning down a new offer from the Trotters.

Agent Peter Harrison said: "He is happy to see out the last year of his current contract at the Reebok. But at the moment that's as far as it goes.

"He has given 10 years' great service to Bolton and he is recognised as one of the top three keepers in the Premiership; if not the best.

"The goalkeeping position is a difficult one to fill. You only have to look at other clubs who have spent fortunes on overseas keepers and they haven't worked out.

"Jussi has never given Bolton any problems because he is solid and reliable. He just wants what he feels he is worth."
