Transfer Gossip: Bolton Wanderers close in on loan deal for Everton midfielder

According to reports from site Football Insider, Bolton Wanderers are closing in on the signing of Everton midfielder, Joe Williams.

The article states:

“Everton central midfielder Joe Williams is closing in on a transfer to Bolton Wanderers, Football Insider sources understands. A number of Championship clubs, including Bristol City, Birmingham City and Hull City have expressed an interest in Williams this summer, but Bolton are in pole position to land the highly-rated Everton midfielder. A well placed source has told Football Insider that the move of the 21-year-old to the north-west outfit is more likely to be a loan than a permanent deal.”

The highly rated youngster, who was on loan at Barnsley last season, could be seen as quite a coup for Wanderers.

Central midfielder Williams played 38 times for Barnsley last season, impressing in a relegated side.

For Wanderers to beat several teams to his signature can only be seen as a good thing.

This deal would make the Charlie Adam rumours seem less likely now.
