From Bolton Official Site.
BOLTON WANDERERS FOOTBALL CLUB is delighted to announce that Liverpool striker El-Hadji Diouf has become the Club's first big signing of the summer.
Diouf, 24, currently preparing for a world cup qualifier in Senegal against Togo on Saturday, has signed a four-year contract for an undisclosed fee.
The livewire striker spent last season at the Reebok on loan from the Anfield based club. He made 27 league appearances scoring nine goals to help the club finish sixth and secure a spot in next season's UEFA Cup.
Bolton boss Sam Allardyce, who has been very patient during intensenegotiationswith the player, is delighted that Diouf has finally committed to the Club on a long-term contract.
Allardyce said today:
"After months of negotiating with Liverpool and the player, I am thrilled that El-Hadji is joining us on a permanent contract. He has all the skill in the world to become one of our most significant signings in the modern era of this great club.
"Last season he was a revelation and no one more than him relished the opportunity of resurrecting his career with us.
"We will give him the platform he needs to become one of Europe's top strikers again - that's how much confidence I have in the lad.
"He has had a turbulent last few years, but now he can take all that pressure off his shoulders and concentrate on playing football at the highest level."
Speaking exclusively to bwfc.co.uk in Dakar, Diouf added:
"It is wonderful news that I'll be joining Bolton Wanderers. Sam Allardyce is the best manager I've ever worked with. He makes you feel important and most of all lets you play football without worrying about anything else.
"Last season was my best spell for nearly five years and my time at the Reebok gave me an understanding that my career was going nowhere at Liverpool. I played with Bolton on a regular basis and helped them finish amongst the elite in the Premiership.
"The Bolton fans have made me welcome and are always chanting my name. As a player that makes you feel so proud and all you want to do is play to your best and not to let the fans down - they mean a lot to me."
Diouf joined Liverpool from French club Lens for £10m in 2002. During his career on Merseyside, he won three trophies.He has also been awarded with the African Footballer of the Year award on two separate occasions.In 2002, he helped Senegal reach the semi-finals of the World Cup in Japan and Korea.
