Bolton Wanderers' veteran winger Martin Petrov is set to sign for Spanish side Espanyol, a report says.

The former Bulgaria international is heading to Espanyol on a free transfer, according to the Daily Mail.

The winger has been a bit-part player this season and Bolton are desperate to move his GBP 45,000-a-week wages off their books.

Petrov worked with Espanyol coach Javier Aguirre during his successful stay at Atletico Madrid (2005-2007).
