Mexican striker Jared Borgetti has joined Bolton from Pachucha, and will be unveiled by Bolton as soon as they have sorted out his medical and work permit.

"The fee has been agreed with his club and personal terms are all sorted," said manager Sam Allardyce.

"Borgetti has played over 60 games this year and will need to get plenty of rest before we really see his true class. His pedigree is excellent, but the Premiership is still unknown to him and he will have to be at his best to make the impact we are looking for.

"It is a massive challenge for both the player and the club and I do know he has the mental strength to make it a success in England."
He will be the first ever Mexican to play in the Premier league
