Bolton Wanderers manager Sam Allardyce has made a plea to the authorities to relax their laws on transfers which are to take place outside of the current transfer window ruling.

Injuries to Emerson Thome, Ivan Campo and Florent Laville have seen the Wanderers boss short on central defensive options for his side's clash with Tottenham Hotspur at the weekend meaning he will have to shuffle his squad around or call on the services of 17-year old rookie Charlie Comyn-Platt, but the Bolton manager has said he will try for special dispensation to try and ease his denfensive problems.

"Its unfair considering that you can sign a keeper, I'm going to ask for dispensation because the situation is very grave" he said
