Bayer Leverkusen threaten Bolton deal for Chilean youngster Santiago Magnasco

Bolton Wanderers face competition for Chilean youngster Santiago Magnasco.

The Mirror says Bolton boss Owen Coyle has flown in Chilean right-back Magnasco for talks - but faces a fight with German heavyweights Bayer Leverkusen for his signature.

The teenager is spending a fortnight with Wanderers and trained with the first team on Tuesday.

Magnasco can quit Universidad Catolica for a bargain fee of around £225,000 and hopes to agree terms with Bolton so he can join them in the January transfer window.

However, Bayer Leverkusen have also spoken to Universidad about a deal for the youngster.
