Javi Moreno joins Bolton on loan
LONDON, England (Reuters) -- Spanish striker Javi Moreno has joined Bolton Wanderers on loan until the end of the season, the English Premier League club said on Monday.
The 29-year-old's move from Atletico Madrid is subject to a medical
But Bolton's official Web site said Moreno was expected to be in the squad for Wednesday's home game against champions Manchester United.
Formerly with AC Milan and Spanish team Alaves, Moreno helped the latter club to reach the 2001 UEFA Cup final and scored twice in their 5-4 golden goal defeat by Liverpool in Dortmund.
"He's a proven goalscorer and at this stage we need somebody to score crucial goals in the premiership," Allardyce told the Bolton Web site.
"He's strong and quick, and will add a new dimension to our squad."
Bolton lie 12th in the 20-team Premier League but are only five points above the relegation places. Moreno has five Spain caps.
