EL-HADJI Diouf will be playing for Wanderers next season - if Gary Megson gets his way.
The Senegal striker insists he is on the move, searching for a "new challenge" after four seasons at the Reebok.
But Megson says the transfer fee and wages would make him such an expensive commodity that he is unlikely to find what he is looking for.

The Bolton boss is planning to spend big on a proven goalscorer this summer, but believes Diouf still has a lot to offer Wanderers.
"Dioufy earns seriously good money," Megson said, "and that narrows the amount of clubs who will take you anyway, unless he is prepared to take a drop to go somewhere, which I very much doubt.
"Also he's a very talented lad and we would want a sizeable figure, if indeed anybody came in. And those who know Dioufy will know he is prone to changes of heart."
