Arsenal youngster Jack Wilshere has joined Bolton Wanderers on loan until the end of the season.

The 18-year-old midfielder has joined the Reebok Stadium outfit in time to potentially make his debut in Saturday's trip to Liverpool.

Wilshere is one of the hottest properties in English football after emerging from the youth academy at Arsenal and going on to make 15 first-team appearances for the Gunners.

Wanderers manager Owen Coyle has attempted to sign the starlet during his time as Burnley manager.

"Jack is a talented, young, hungry player who I think has got a bright future ahead of him," Coyle told his club's official website.

"He has got an abundance of quality and he will enhance our squad.

"It is similar to the deal with (Manchester City's) Vladimir Weiss in terms of the belief that I can help the player and the player can help this football club.

"The deals suit all parties concerned if the boys go and deliver on the pitch."

Meanwhile, Bolton have also made defender Paul Robinson's season-long loan move from West Bromwich Albion into a permanent transfer.
