Spanish striker Javi Moreno has joined Bolton Wanderers on loan until the end of the season.
The 29-year-old's move from Atletico Madrid is subject to a medical but the player is expected to be in the squad for tomorrow's game with Manchester United.
Formerly with AC Milan and Spanish team Alaves, Moreno helped the latter club to reach the 2001 UEFA Cup final and scored twice in their 5-4 golden goal defeat to Liverpool. He has played five times for Spain.
"He's a proven goalscorer and at this stage we need somebody to score crucial goals in the Premiership," manager Sam Allardyce said. "He's strong and quick, and will add a new dimension to our squad."
