Balde wants Bolton deal wrapped up

Celtic defender Bobo Balde has confirmed he is keen to move to Bolton.

The Barclays Premier League side have lined up the 32-year-old centre-back to strengthen their rearguard.

Talks between the clubs are ongoing and Bolton hope to clinch a deal for the Guinean before the African Nations Cup begins in 10 days’ time.

Balde told The Sun: “If the clubs reach an agreement I will go to Bolton. Celtic know my position and I'm only waiting for news. I want my future to be resolved in the next few days.”
