Veloso will not join Bolton

Bolton boss Gary Megson has confirmed that the club will not be signing Portuguese ace Miguel Veloso.

Megson has admitted that the 22-yearold Sporting Lisbon ace is too expensive for the Trotters.

Bolton have been linked with a move for Veloso in recent days, as they are searching for a replacement for Kevin Nolan who joined Newcastle earlier on Friday.

Veloso has previously been linked with some of Europe’s biggest clubs, including Manchester United and Inter Milan.

Megson said: “It’s now dead in the water and won’t happen.

“We tried to bring what we thought was a top-class player to the club but we can’t do it.

“To use an analogy, if you like a car but you can’t afford it then you have to look at something cheaper.”
