Wanderers aiming to sign Sporting forward Vukcevic

Bolton want to sign £5million-rated Sporting Lisbon forward Simon Vukcevic, the Montenegro star whose first-leg equaliser helped knock Gary Megson’s side out of the UEFA Cup in March.

With £11m Sweden striker Johan Elmander already in the bag, Bolton are vying with
neighbours Blackburn in the chase to land 22-year-old Vukcevic.

Megson has reinforced his backroom team by appointing Steve Wigley as head coach.

He replaces Archie Knox, who has joined Blackburn.

Rovers have landed a £3m transfer bonus after a U-turn by trustees, who previously
decided that the cash from the bumper new TV deal would be enough to keep the
club running smoothly.
