Bolton Wanderers will make a final decision today on whether to sign Marcus Forss, who is currently on trial with the club. The 27-year-old striker, who scored five goals in 25 appearances during his loan spell last season, could return to the Trotters on a permanent deal after leaving Middlesbrough at the end of June.
What happened with Marcus Forss at Bolton Wanderers?
Forss joined Bolton on loan last season and played a key role in their promotion to the Championship, scoring five goals and providing one assist in 25 appearances. However, his time at the club was disrupted by injuries. Now, after his Middlesbrough contract expired, he has linked up with Bolton again for pre-season training.
Why is this move significant for Bolton Wanderers?
Bringing Forss back would strengthen Bolton’s attacking options as they prepare for life in the Championship. The Finnish international, who has 21 caps, would compete with Kyliane Dong and Sam Dalby for a starting spot. Since Bolton’s promotion, they have been active in the transfer market, and adding Forss would provide experience and depth up front.
What comes next for Bolton Wanderers?
Bolton Wanderers finished fifth in League One last season with 75 points (19W-18D-9L) and a +18 goal difference. They are now gearing up for the Championship, where they will face tougher competition. A decision on Forss is expected soon, and if signed, he could be a valuable addition as they aim to establish themselves in the second tier.
