Bolton Wanderers handed huge transfer boost by Liverpool as agreement reportedly struck

Liverpool will reportedly allow loan star Conor Bradley to stay at Bolton Wanderers for the full season.

The Northern Ireland international had been linked with Preston North End and even Wolves, with the Reds possessing the option to recall Bradley should they wish. He joined Bolton on loan for the full season this summer and has impressed in League One, scoring his fourth goal of the campaign in Wanderers' recent win at Fleetwood Town.

The report comes as a big boost to the Whites, who would not want to lose one of their key players mid-way through the season. It is tight in the race for promotion and with Bolton sitting in fifth spot, Bradley will have a big part to play for the remainder of the campaign. It has been suggested that other Championship clubs are trying to break the agreement, but that Liverpool are content with their youngster's progress at Wanderers.

Evatt had previously expressed some concern over Bradley, saying: "They are able to do it (recall him). All the conversations that we’ve had is Conor is here for the season and obviously, because of how well he’s done, there’s going to be other suitors. But all we can do is give him all the support on and off the pitch that we’ve given him. We’ve given him a great opportunity. He’s repaid us with his performances. We like to think we’ve been and done very well for him as well, so hopefully the relationship continues. But I don’t think we’re too worried about losing him in January.”
