Bolton Wanderers striker Eidur Gudjohnsen says Emile Heskey is impressing in training.
Former Liverpool striker Heskey is chasing a short-term deal with the Trotters.
Gudjohnsen, who signed for Bolton earlier this month, said: "He's a physical presence and you can still see it.
"There's not much changed in him. If he wants to play and if he's hungry to play then I'd love for him to be with us.
"Any bit of quality, any bit of experience, any bit of competition within the group is always helpful and whether it's him or other players, we want to find a healthy competition to get the best out of each other."
