Bolton Wanderers planning quiet transfer window

Bolton Wanderers chairman Ken Anderson has warned fans to expect a quiet January as they look to keep their promotion challenge alive in the second half of the season.

Youngsters Josh Vela and Zach Clough have attracted interest from Championship sides in recent months, but Anderson insisted that he will not entertain any offers for key players unless they are too good to turn down.

"I have discussed it with the manager (Phil Parkinson) and I don't intend to sell any players," he told the Bolton News. "That is not to say if someone came in and said 'here's £10m for Zach Clough' we wouldn't take a commercial view, but we don't expect that.

"I don't see many, if any, players coming in because I don't think we have got room for them.

"Phil has done the opposite of what you might expect a manager to do and said he'd rather keep what he has got. Players coming in take time to settle, as we saw in the last window, and I think unless we have got injuries or something happens between now and January I can't see anyone coming in. The manager has said he doesn't want them."

Wanderers are currently third in the League One table, one point off leaders Scunthorpe United.
