Petrov: Coyle presence key to Bolton move

Martin Petrov admits Owen Coyle was key to his decision to sign with Bolton Wanderers.

The former Manchester City winger has revealed how Coyle's promise of playing an attacking brand of football helped Wanderers beat a host of other clubs home and abroad to his signature.

He said: "Bolton is a good team in England, it's not one of the big names but I came here because I spoke with the manager and he told me he wants to play football, to play with wingers and to score more goals - that's very important for me.

"Also because my family is happy here and we don't need to change where we live. And if my family is happy then I can come here and concentrate on my training and playing games."
