Powell Linked With Bolton Switch

Last updated : 30 August 2004 By Mark Heys
Bolton Wanderers are set to sign Charlton Athletic full back Chris Powell before tommorows transfer deadline according to a report in the News of the World.

The 34-year old former England international has only just recently signed a new contract to remain at The Valley for a further twelve months so it remains to be seen whether these reports come with any foundation.

Experienced Powell has played for a number of teams clocking up over 500 games for the likes of Crystal Palace, Aldershot, Southend United and latterly Derby County whom he left to join the Addicks in the summer of 1998.

Sam Allardyce has been looking to add to the left side of defence since the departure of Simon Charlton to Norwich City in the close season.
