Update emerges on Millwall's Jon Dadi Bodvarsson and Bolton Wanderers transfer

Bolton Wanderers appear poised to confirm the capture of Millwall striker Jon Dadi Bodvarsson.

The 29-year-old has been at the Den since 2019 but has played just once for the Championship side this season.

Wanderers have made four signings so far in the January transfer window with the permanent acquisitions of Charles and Aaron Morley, as well as the loan signings of Marlon Fossey and James Trafford.

Bodvarsson has been linked with a move to Wanderers, with Evatt confirming that the striking department is one the League One club are seeking to strengthen.

Bodvarsson is poised to become the fifth new signing of the January transfer window so far for Wanderers.

Wanderers are also seeking a midfielder to bolster their ranks in that area of the squad, with bids having been made for Gillingham's Kyle Dempsey.

Bodvarsson is currently under contract at the Den until the summer and given that consideration, it appeared any deal done might have been a loan.

But London News Online reports that the move for Bodvarsson is set to be completed today and will be a permanent one on a free transfer, rather than a loan.

The striker would then be available for Wanderers' League One trip to Shrewsbury Town this Saturday and could make his debut then.
