David Ngog and Gael Kakuta move to Bolton

  • Published

Bolton have completed the signing of Liverpool striker David Ngog on a three-year contract.

The 22-year-old has struggled to hold down a regular place since joining the Reds from Paris St Germain in 2008 for £2.5m, managing 94 appearances.

Owen Coyle has been interested in signing the Frenchman for some time and the deal is believed to be worth £4m.

Meanwhile, Chelsea winger Gael Kakuta has also joined Bolton on loan until 1 January.

The 20-year-old Frenchman spent the second half of last season on loan at Fulham, making seven appearances and follows in the footsteps of Daniel Sturridge, who had a successful loan spell at the Reebok Stadium last season.

Coyle said: "David will be a great addition to our squad.

"He is quick, can score goals and he knows what the Premier League is all about.

"Added to that there is his European experience with Liverpool in the Champions and Europa Leagues.

"He has represented his country at a host of junior levels and he will offer our team further attacking options.

"We are delighted to bring another quality, young prospect to Bolton."
