AS Cannes midfielder Gérald Forchelet has joined FA Premiership side Bolton Wanderers FC.
'A real coup for Bolton'
The 20-year-old has moved to the Reebok Stadium for an undisclosed fee after receiving offers from a number of clubs. “This is a real coup for Bolton as he has been much sought after,” said manager Sam Allardyce.
'He is one for the future'
However, the manager has decided against including Forchelet in the side to face title contenders Newcastle United FC at the weekend. "I don’t want to put too much pressure on him," said Allardyce. "He is one for the future."
