Bolton complete Alonso deal

Bolton have completed the signing of young defender Marcos Alonso from Real Madrid for an undisclosed fee.

The 19-year-old has put pen to paper on a three-year contract to become Owen Coyle’s third summer signing, joining Martin Petrov and Robbie Blake at the Reebok Stadium.

Alonso, a left-back who can also operate in midfield, made one appearance for Real but was unable to nail down a regular spot and new Bernabeu boss Jose Mourinho has now allowed the teenager to move on,

Coyle said: "He is an exciting young player who has undoubted quality and he will bring that into our mix. I think that we have a real talent on our hands,

"I have said before that when we are investing money in transfers that I want to do it with young, talented players.

"He isn't the finished article yet - he's a young player making his way - but you don't get through at Real Madrid without having a bit about you."
