Bolton snap up Mexican striker

July 25, 2005
LONDON (AFP) - Bolton have confirmed that Mexican striker Jared Borgetti will join the club on a two-year deal once he has passed a medical.

The 31-year-old forward concluded a deal with Wanderers at the weekend while the club agreed a fee with his employers Pachucha.

However, Bolton manager Sam Allardyce - currently in Thailand where his side are playing in the Premier League Asia Trophy - warned it would take time for Borgetti to adapt to the physical demands of the Premiership.

"We are just waiting for the all-clear on the medical," Allardyce told the club's official website.

"I am glad to say everything else is in place and by the time we get back home everything should be sorted out. The fee has been agreed with his club and personal terms are all sorted.



The medical will be fine. This Borgetti has played great soccer this summer in recent international tournies. Seems like he's the only one scoring for Mexico lately. Big offensive boost for Bolton, they need a 2nd scoring option to El Hadji.
