Bolton Wanderers boss Owen Coyle is in talks with Oldham Athletic for Tom Eaves.
The Mirror says the teenager came off the bench to nab three sharp goals against Wanderers last week and Coyle immediately began talks with Latics about taking him in a surprise £250,000 deal.
Eaves was left on the bench at the weekend to avoid injury before the move goes through - much to the disappointment of Sunderland, Blackpool and Fulham who sent their top scouts to see him play.
Eaves will be sold by the hard-up League One club but they may ask Bolton if the youngster can rejoin them on loan for the season.
