Bolton Wanderers eye three January deals
Ian Evatt’s transfer business is yet to kick into action, with Swansea City’s Nathanael Ogbeta the solitary recruit to date.
Blackburn Rovers’ Niall Ennis appeared to be closing in on a move, however, according to The Sun’s Alan Nixon (via his Patreon), a £500,000 loan-to-buy agreement has proven to be a stumbling block.
With the automatic promotion race heating up, Bolton need to strengthen before Thursday’s deadline.
Nixon has previously alluded to another central defender and midfielder arriving, and Ipswich Town’s Cameron Humphreys could be the man to turn to.
Cameron Humphreys could be the answer
The Trotters’ 3-5-2 formation has been the cornerstone of their success during the 2023/24 season.
Josh Sheehan, Kyle Dempsey and Edmond-Paris Maghoma started the 4-1 win over Carlisle United in a formidable centre-piece of Evatt’s side.
Along with George Thomason and Aaron Morely, the Bolton boss has five excellent central midfield options at his disposal. However, with three starting each fixture, potentially adding one more player would be an astute move. With Wanderers two points behind league-leaders Portsmouth having played two games less, the games are set to come thick and fast.
