Bolton boss Owen Coyle has confirmed he is set to complete deals for midfielders Vladimir Weiss and Stuart Holden.

Manchester City winger Weiss made his senior debut against Bolton in the final game of last season and is looking for regular first-team action ahead of Slovakia's World Cup campaign.

The 20-year-old has made five first-team appearances for City yet has already made six international appearances for Slovakia.

Former Houston Dynamo midfielder Holden has been on trial with Wanderers and is nursing a slight thigh injury but Weiss could feature in Bolton's league clash with Burnley on Tuesday night.
