Bolton boss every confidence in new signing Chung-Yong

Bolton boss Gary Megson believes South Korea international Lee Chung-Yong is a bright prospect for the future. "He has done okay from what we have seen from him so far," Megson told the Bolton News. "Physique-wise, you can see that he isn't strong enough yet and not capable of going through an hour and a half but all that really does is emphasise the difference between the league here in England and that in South Korea.

"He has got to be given time, and not just a matter of weeks. It is impossible to judge on what we have seen so far because he has only been here for such a short space of time. Making that kind of move must be difficult for anyone.

"He has done okay so far. He has gone on a couple of times as a substitute and you can see right away that defensively he's nowhere near at the moment.

"But when he has got the ball at his feet, he has got that ability to go past people. He has a tremendous awareness about him, which will bode really well in the future."
