da bet sport： Owen Coyle believes Bolton can help striker Daniel Sturridge play for England.
da dobrowin： The on-loan Chelsea man is in line for his first Wanderers start against Tottenham on Saturday after grabbing an injury-time winner on his debut against Wolves on Wednesday.
Sturridge came off the substitutes’ bench to seal Bolton’s first win in six English Premier League games after arriving on Monday’s transfer deadline.
Coyle thinks the 21-year-old will be huge success at the Reebok until the end of the season – and can even go on to represent his country.
“I don’t want to get ahead of ourselves but I believe he’s good enough to play at that level,” the manager said.
“But to have that right, he needs to show that week-in, week-out in the Premier League as Jack Wilshere did.”
“To score the match-winning goal is a great start for him but he must continue to do that.”
“I believe he can score goals and he’s more than that – there will be games where he doesn’t score but he can still contribute because he has pace, he has a trick and he’s shown he’s prepared to work hard.”
“It gives the whole club a lift to bring in such a talent and it provides us with some real competition in the forward areas and that bodes well for the rest of the season.”
Coyle could chose to bring Sturridge in for Kevin Davies as he looks to give his captain a well-deserved rest.
The Bolton talisman, who turns 34 next month, became only the 20th player to reach 400 appearances in the Premier League era in the 1-0 victory Wolves.
Coyle said: “I think it’s an astonishing statistic considering the way he plays the game, and the way people play the game against him. As a manager I feel very fortunate to have him.”
