Andranik Teimourian has his sights set on becoming a first team regular at Bolton Wanderers after putting in a number of encouraging substitute appearances recently. The Iran international has gained praise from many quarters due to his work ethic and commitment which has risen ever since he was given his first full start for the club during last month's FA Cup win over Doncaster Rovers.

Andranik scored twice in that game at the Keepmoat Stadium and is now looking to build on his recent cameo performances against the likes of Charlton Athletic and Watford.

"I hope the experiences that I am getting with the first team will help me to become a fixed player in Bolton next season," Andranik said to the Bolton News.

"I believe I can become a successful player in the Premiership." added the 23-year old, who was signed in the summer after an impressive World Cup campaign with his country.

The Bolton fans have already taken to the midfielder and they beleive that his skill and ability could very well be the missing link which would help the club back into the UEFA Cup, and possibly even the Champions League.

Wanderers boss Sam Allardyce says that the Iranian has shown some remarkable promise during his early months at the club and has called for more of the same for the rest of the season.

"He looks the part, I hope he can go on from here and continue to grow with us." said Allardyce
