Bolton Wanderers have pushed through the signing of Norwegian international wide man Daniel Braaten after agreeing an undisclosed fee with Rosenberg beleived to be in the region of £425,000.

The 25-year old flyer watched the Trotters 3-0 friendly win on against Espanyol two days ago and now he has put the finishing touches to an initial  three year contract.

Famed for his speed and technical ability, Braaten produced a fine piece of skill now dubbed the "seal dribble" where by he juggled the ball like a seal beating a number of opposing players in the process.

Bolton boss Sammy Lee is of the opinion that his eleventh new addition will add a new dimension to the team in the times that lie ahead.

"Danny is another quality signing for the club and I am delighted he has chosen Bolton Wanderers ahead of the other clubs around Europe who were chasing him." said Lee to the official Bolton website 

"He is a powerful winger, who can play on both flanks. He is very direct and likes to take on the defence with strong running and deft skill.He will complement the squad and give us a new outlet out wide providing excellent service to the forward line"

Bolton have signed Gerald Cid, Blerim Dzemaili, Zoltan Harsanyi, Jlloyd Samuel, Gavin McCann, Danny Guthrie, Mikel Alonso, Christian Wilhelmsson, Heidar Helguson and Adam Bogdan already this summer and there could be the possibility of one or two more additions before the transfer window closes.

WALKING DOWN THE MANNY ROAD WOULD LIKE TO WELCOME DANIEL TO BOLTON WANDERERS.
