Bolton Wanderers boss Owen Coyle hopes to utilise the loan market.
Coyle may move for Chelsea's Josh McEachran - if he can get around Premier League terms on loan agreements.
He said: "Under Premier League rules it would have to be permanent. We've had Gael Kakuta on loan and he will return to Chelsea.
"It would be difficult for a club like Bolton to sign players from Chelsea. But we never say never."
