Bolton to give trial to Iceland striker

Bolton are to give a trial to exciting young Icelandic international striker Veigar Gunnarsson.

Gunnarsson has scored seven goals in 12 games for KR Reykjavik and will be out of contract when Iceland’s domestic league ends next month.

The striker was picked out by former Bolton skipper Gudni Bergsson, who is now scouting for Wanderers in Iceland, as a potential target.

Meanwhile Bolton boss Sam Allardyce is hoping to finally tie up a deal to bring French winger Ibrahim Ba to the Reebok.

The 29-year-old was released by Milan in the summer so can still sign despite the transfer window having closed.
