Bolton Wanderers are hoping to extend the loan of former Coventry City loanee Stephen Warnock.
Warnock has been on loan at the Reebok Stadium from Aston Villa but his loan ended last Saturday.
Speaking to BBC Radio Manchester, Bolton boss Dougie Freedman said: "Stephen has done fantastic for us. We would like to look at that situation if Stephen would. The ball's in his court.
"If he expresses any interest in staying, we would certainly look at it. We've said to him that he needs to be comfortable with his decision.
"He'll go away and think about it for a couple of weeks and then he'll let us know what he's feeling in January.
"If he tells us that it's all positive, I'll go to the board and explain why we should try and do something."
