Bolton Wanderers manager Steven Schumacher has expressed his desire to reunite with Celtic striker Johnny Kenny, who impressed during his loan spell last season. Speaking on BBC Radio Manchester, Schumacher acknowledged that Kenny's skill set matches the profile of a striker he is looking to sign. However, he admitted that the club faces competition from other Championship clubs and at least two European teams for the Republic of Ireland international's signature. Schumacher praised Kenny's direct playing style, good speed, and physicality, saying he was a 'real bonus' for the team during his loan spell. He also highlighted the importance of having different profiles of strikers in the squad, citing Mason Burstow and Sam Dalby as examples. The club is looking to sign two strikers before the transfer deadline on September 3, along with at least two wide players and a senior goalkeeper. Goals this season: 67 scored, 48 conceded (+19 goal difference). League standing (final 2025 table -- new season not yet under way): 3rd in League One, 74 pts, 19W-17D-8L from 44 games, recent form DWLDW.
