Megson continues striker hunt

13 August 2009 16:26
Gary Megson remains hopeful of adding a striker to his list of summer recruits as new-look Bolton prepare to open their campaign at home to Sunderland on Saturday. Megson has enjoyed a successful foray into the transfer market with Zat Knight, Sam Ricketts, Sean Davis and Paul Robinson having arrived at the Reebok Stadium during the close-season. South Korea international midfielder Lee Chung-Yong, 21, will arrive on Friday after completing a £2.2million move from FC Seoul but the Trotters` lack of firepower remains a serious concern. Last season skipper Kevin Davies netted 11 times but club-record signing Johan Elmander managed only five in the whole campaign and none at all after Christmas. Megson said: "It`s quite well-documented now that we are looking for a new striker. We know who we`d like, but whether that is achievable or not is another question. "A lot of things will happen between now and the end of August, and we have to be prepared to move quickly to bring somebody in if the opportunity arises. We definitely need another forward as we go into the season with Kevin Davies and Johan Elmander as our only senior strikers."
