Okocha will quit Bolton if they are relegated

Nigeria star Jay Jay Okocha has announced he will not stay with Bolton if the English club are relegated.

Bolton go into their last game of the season against Blackburn on Sunday knowing victory will guarantee their Premiership survival.

But Okocha, who has been their best player in recent weeks, will not follow the club if they do go down a division.

"I still have a year left on my contract, but I have made it clear I don't want to play in Division One," he said.

"I don't want this to be my last game for Bolton, though, and I want to stay with Bolton in the Premiership."

Inspired by the Super Eagles star, Bolton have produced a series of fine performances in recent weeks.

"We have done ourselves a favour in the last month by putting together four good results," Okocha confirmed.

"Now it's in our own hands, and that is so important in these situations.

"This is now such an important game for everyone at this club as there is so much at stake.

"A lot of players are out of contract in the summer and we are playing for their futures."

If Bolton do go down, Okocha's fine showing in his first Premiership season should mean he is not short of suitors.

Okcoha joined Bolton last summer from French side Paris Saint Germain.
