Leeds swoop for Michalik
09 Mar 2007 - 10:52:30
Leeds United have signed Bolton Wanderers defender Lubomir Michalik on a month's loan.
United boss Dennis Wise has landed the Slovakia international in a desperate bid to plug a leaking defence which has been largely responsible for the Elland Road club's failure to move off the foot of the Championship table.
Michalik signed a three-and-a-half year deal with the Premiership side in January and is viewed as one for the future by Trotters boss Sam Allardyce.
The 23-year-old has yet to make an appearance in the top-flight and his arrival at Elland Road follows the similar loan acquisition of Radostin Kishishev from Charlton Athletic last week.
Michalik is expected to go straight into the squad for Saturday's vital relegation showdown with Luton Town.
