Bolton move for Arsenal kid Wilshere stalls after bitter clash

Bolton Wanderers are unlikely to sign Arsenal youngster Jack Wilshere after the bitter fallout from Wednesday night's clash.

The Mirror says Trotters boss Owen Coyle wants to take the young midfielder on loan, but the bitter exchange between the two managers at the end of a fiery game at the Emirates has put the deal into cold storage.

The new Wanderers chief gave Arsene Wenger a frank description of what he felt about William Gallas' tackle on Mark Davies - and the fact that the Gunners played on to claim an equaliser.

Coyle had asked for Wilshere during his time at Burnley, and was keen to resurrect the deal to the England Under-21 star to the Reebok.

However, the strain between he and Wenger means Coyle is now pressing on with other targets and will not ask or expect any favours from Wenger.
