Bolton boss Coyle: Chelsea striker Sturridge can match Wilshere

Bolton Wanderers boss Owen Coyle is excited by their deal for Chelsea striker Danny Sturridge.

Coyle has no doubts they can accelerate the development of Sturridge.

Coyle said: "I'm absolutely delighted to bring Daniel to the football club until the end of the season. When we were made aware that there was a chance he'd be allowed out on loan then we certainly tried to do everything we could to convince him that this would be the best place for him.

"I think he's such an exciting young talent who I believe will have a very positive impact, probably similar to the impact Jack Wilshere had last year, because I believe this is a player who is capable of playing in the Chelsea team, as Jack Wilshere was capable of playing in the Arsenal team.

"Sometimes at elite clubs there's a tendency to maybe not quite be convinced because of their youth and everything else, so it gives Daniel the platform to go and show everybody what he has in his locker.

"He has attributes in abundance and I'm very excited to see him in a Bolton shirt."
