Bolton talking to Unsworth

Bolton have confirmed they are holding talks with Everton defender David Unsworth.

Unsworth is out of contract at Goodison Park this summer and has rejected a new two-year deal.

Trotters boss Sam Allardyce today confirmed his interest in the 30-year-old defender, who was born close to the Reebok Stadium in Chorley.

Allardyce said: “David Unsworth is a quality player who does interest me. We have opened talks with his representative and I would be keen to sign him.

“He has proven Premiership experience and he would fit in well with our talented squad.”

Unsworth has had two spells at Everton and also played for Aston Villa and West Ham.
