Bolton Wanderers have wrapped up the signing of Sweden striker Johan Elmander from French club Toulouse.

The 27-year-old has signed a three-year contract with the Trotters, moving to England for an undisclosed fee.

Elmander recently featured in all three of his country's games at Euro 2008, having also been part of the Sweden squad for the 2006 World Cup finals in Germany.

Bolton have allowed Norwegian winger Daniel Braaten to join Toulouse as part of the deal to bring former Feyenoord and Brondby forward Elmander to the club.

Manager Gary Megson told the club's official website: "Johan is a player I have admired for a long time.

"He's a player who will get us goals and also create other opportunities for his team-mates.

"I am still on the look out for other players to boost the quality of our squad."
