Wigan Athletic face another battle to retain the services of Charles N'Zogbia after the France international stated his desire to move to a club capable of winning titles.
A £6 million (Dh36.1m) signing from Newcastle United in February 2009, the 25-year-old scored five times in Wigan's final six League games to help keep them in the Premier League, but has asked to join a more competitive English side.
"My board knows that I want to get to a place where I can challenge for honours," said N'Zogbia in an interview with Monaco radio station RMC.
Elsewhere, Bolton have opened discussions on the transfer of winger Martin Petrov to Major League Soccer.
The 32-year-old Bulgarian is one of the club's higher earners after joining from Manchester City on a free transfer 12 months ago, yet started less than half of Bolton's Premier League fixtures last season.
While Owen Coyle is keen to sign Rodrigo Moreno after a successful season's loan, his parent club Benfica are asking in excess of £5m for Spain youth international.
Swansea have opened talks with former Spain international Marcos Senna. The Premier League newcomers are lining up a move for the out-of-contract Villarreal midfielder, 34, and his representative Ely Coimbra says a deal could be struck.
Coimbra told the Western Mail: "Marcos Senna had a previous conversation by phone with Swansea manager Brendan Rodgers and that made him very proud and honoured with the possible interest of Swansea.
"Marcos is very happy with the possibility, but we want to make very clear that we are right now on preliminary contacts."
Senna won 28 caps for Spain and was part of the squad that won the European Championships in 2008.
