Wanderers In Double Striker Link

Last updated : 17 December 2003 By Mark Heys
With the Transfer deadline just over a month away, Bolton Wanderers are being linked once again with numerous new faces with Anderlecht's contract rebel Ivica Mornar and Sochaux front man Mikael Pagis the latest names on the grapevine.

Croatian hitman Mornar 29, has expressed a desire to sign a longer contract with the Belgian Champions but as of yet has been offered less terms than he first hoped prompting speculation that he could be set to move during the January window and both Everton and the Wanderers have been credited with an interest in the player.

Sochaux on the other hand are keen to offload Pagis after numerous arguments following the striker's display against Marseille in August and it is reported that both Bolton and local rivals Manchester City are keen to offer the 30-year old a route out of the Stade Bonal.

However all depends on how much Bolton boss Sam Allardyce will be given to spend and early indications have suggested that once again the manager will have to offload people off the wage bill to bring new faces in. A midfielder and defender are the manager's priority, it is more than likely Allardyce will stick with his current strikers Kevin Davies, Mario Jardel and Henrik Pedersen.
