Son of West Ham keeper Jaaskelainen attracting interest at Bolton

The son of West Ham United goalkeeper Jussi Jaaskelainen is attracting big club interest.

The Daily Mail says Will Jaaskelainen, son of Jussi, is 15 and impressing for Bolton Wanderers.

He starred for Bolton in their penalty shoot-out exit to Sheffield United in the FA Youth Cup and caught the attention of scouts in attendance. Bolton coach David Lee said: "Will is still 15 years of age. It was an unbelievable experience for him to play at the Reebok for 120 minutes and then face a shootout. He came back in disappointed he hadn't saved any penalties and that says a lot about his character."
