Wilshere seals Bolton move

29 January 2010 17:15
Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere has joined Bolton on a loan deal until the end of the season. The 18-year-old has made seven Arsenal first-team appearances this season but Gunners boss Arsene Wenger has given the green light to the move in order for the player to gain further experience in the Barclays Premier League. The highly-rated attacking midfielder is expected to go straight into the Bolton squad for their Premier League encounter with Liverpool at Anfield. Bolton manager Owen Coyle told www.bwfc.co.uk: "Jack is a talented, young, hungry player who I think has got a bright future ahead of him. "He has got an abundance of quality and he will enhance our squad. It is similar to the deal with [Manchester City loanee] 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."
