Former Southampton, Aston Villa and Wolves midfielder Hassan Kachloul is said to be linking up with the club next week in a bid to earn a contract following the expiry of his contract as Wanderers boss Sam Allardyce continues his search to bring fresh blood to the club. Bolton-born Garry Flitcroft is also rumoured to be a transfer possibility having seen his opportunities decrease at local rivals Blackburn Rovers recently due to the arrival of ex-Rangers captain Barry Ferguson. A number of clubs are said to be interested in the former Rovers skipper Flitcroft including Leeds United but Burnley have dismissed recent rumours linking the player with a switch across East Lancashire.
Meanwhile the Wanderers continued their fine run during pre-season as they defeated Radcliffe Boro 3-1 at Stainton Park yesterday. Kevin Nolan opened the scoring for the Trotters who fielded a mix of experienced and youth against Kevin Glendon's team.
