| Bolton Go Mexican With Borgetti |
Bolton have completed the signing of Mexican striker Jared Borgetti.
The 31-year-old has signed a two-year deal and will be unveiled once a routine medical is sealed and a work-permit is gained.
The Trotters have been in talks for a number of weeks with Borgetti and his club Pachucha, but finally have struck a deal for the striker known as 'The Desert Fox'.
"The fee has been agreed with his club and personal terms are all sorted," said manager Sam Allardyce.
"Borgetti has played over 60 games this year and will need to get plenty of rest before we really see his true class. His pedigree is excellent, but the Premiership is still unknown to him and he will have to be at his best to make the impact we are looking for.
"It is a massive challenge for both the player and the club and I do know he has the mental strength to make it a success in England."
Borgetti will become the first Mexican ever to play in The Premiership.
