Boyata leaves Man City for Bolton loan

Manchester City defender Dedryck Boyata has joined Bolton Wanderers on a season-long loan.

The 20-year old Belgian has been looking for a way out of Etihad Stadium as he is down the order under Roberto Mancini and is now excited about developing under Owen Coyle, just like Arsenal's Jack Wilshere and Chelsea's Daniel Sturridge.

"I'm really looking forward to working with the manager. I have seen how he got the best out of young players like Jack Wilshere and Daniel Sturridge," he told the club's official website.

"I am only 20 years old and I am still learning and want to improve. To come to Bolton Wanderers for a loan period is a great opportunity to do that."
