Bolton Wanderers boss Gary Megson expects to make a first January signing this week.

After defeat to FA Cup opponents Sunderland, Megson said: "Our bench cost nothing yesterday - all kids and free transfers - and we have to improve that.

"But we have to accept who we are, what resources we have and do the best with that.

"We are in talks about bringing a player in and we have spoken to another in terms of making enquiries but there is nothing concrete.

"I think next week it will really kick in."
