Bulgaria international Martin Petrov has agreed personal terms with Bolton Wanderers.

Bolton's interest in Petrov emerged last week and he will officially sign at the Reebok Stadium when his deal with City expires.

Petrov spent three years with City, scoring 12 goals in 66 appearances. A knee injury prematurely ended his involvement last season and he was subsequently released by Roberto Mancini alongside fellow internationals Benjani Mwaruwari and Sylvinho.

Everton, West Ham and Aston Villa were also linked with Petrov, though Bolton's interest always appeared the most concrete. In 77 caps, Petrov has scored 19 times for Bulgaria.
