Megson eyes up Robinson

WANDERERS are believed to be lining up a £5million move for Spurs and England goalkeeper Paul Robinson.
Bolton boss Gary Megon has joined Aston Villa in the race to tempt the troubled keeper to the Reebok as a replacement for Jussi Jaaskelainen.
The future of the Finland international is uncertain although new contract talks were reopend this week.
Robinson does not appear to have the confidence of Spurs boss Juande Ramos, who is pursuing France international Gregory Coupet.
Aston Villa manager Martin O'Neill may also target Robinson, who lost his England place after a series of high-profile mistakes, if he fails in his attempt to keep on-loan Scott Carson, valued at £10million by Liverpool, at Villa Park.
Meanwhile, Jerome Alonzo, the Paris St Germain reserve goalkeeper, has said that Wanderers have made an offer to sign him.
Alonzo, 35, has said he is ready to quit France after seven years in Paris. He told France-Football that Bolton have joined Derby County, QPR and Hearts in the race for his signature and added: "There was even Cardiff City - I could have played the Cup final in Wembley."
Ghanaian central midfielder Anthony Annan is interesting Wanderers.
He has been recommended to Chelsea by his Ghanaian team-mate Michael Essien, but with a move to the Champions League runners-up appearing unlikely, Bolton could be lured into a bidding war with Blackburn and Boro for the 21-year-old who plies his trade for Norwegian side Stabaek.
Annan outshone Essien with his standout performances in the recent African Cup of Nations and now he has set his sights on playing in the Premiership.
"Yeah, that's what I'm hoping," Annan said.
"My agent is working hard for me, and he says a lot about me moving to the Premiership in summer, so I'm looking forward to playing there.
"He told me Bolton, Blackburn, and Middlesbrough are all interested.
"My first choice is for a move to England, but I would otherwise think about France or Spain "There will be a lot of work for me in the Premiership).
Annan-nicknamed Pablo Aimar in comparison to the Argentine national midfield superstar-is rated as one of the brightest young African footballers in Ghana.
Meanwhile, ivan campo, released by Wanderers, said: "I'm talking to different teams in England but I am open to a return to Spain. Everyone knows the admiration that I have for Mallorca because it was where I started to develop as a player."
