Bolton sign Real teen

Tuesday, 27/07/2010

Owen Coyle has made his third summer signing for Bolton, landing Real Madrid youngster Marco Alonso.

The 19-year-old full back made his Madrid debut in April, but was deemed surplus to requirements at the Bernabeu.

He joins for an undisclosed fee, signing a three-year deal, much to Coyle's delight.

"He is an exciting young player and we have a real talent on our hands," said the gaffer.

"He isn't the finished article but you don't get through at Real Madrid without having a bit about you."

Alonso follows Martin Petrov and Robbie Blake to the Reebok Stadium.
