The Ukranian international was set for a move to the Reebok during the last transfer window, which closed on August 31st, but Bolton could not obtain a work permit for the player.
"We'll have a look at him in action to see how he's shaping up because there's a chance of getting him in January" Allardyce told the Bolton official website.
"Had he been a player from within the EU he'd be a Bolton player by now."
