Robinson hopeful Bolton can hold onto Chelsea starlet Sturridge

Bolton Wanderers fullback Paul Robinson hopes they can keep Chelsea striker Danny Sturridge.

The youngster has been a revelation since his January arrival.

"Daniel has been different class since he came in," Robinson told the Bolton News. "He's been one of those finds that the gaffer has just pulled out of the bag.

"He hasn't been given his opportunity at Chelsea, come to us, and you can't ask any more from the lad.

"All we can do is try to keep encouraging him, like we did with Jack Wilshere last year. You've seen how things have gone for him recently - he's a fantastic player and a great lad with a good head on his shoulders.

"Dan will be exactly the same. He's a very level-headed lad who takes the advice and shows it on the pitch. He's producing results and scoring goals, so hopefully we can get him back again next year, who knows?

"Carlo will have been watching him and he might well get his opportunity at Chelsea."
