Bolton Wanderers are one of a number of clubs rumoured to be interested in signing highly rated Motherwell winger Stephen Pearson once the January transfer window opens.
The 21-year old saw a move to Premiership rivals Leicester City fall through over the summer but having carried on his starring role in the The Well midfield over from last season has meant a number of clubs have taken note of his progress.
Leeds United, Manchester City, Wolverhampton Wanderers, Newcastle United, Everton and German club Schalke 04 have all been credited with an interest in the Scottish U21 international in midweek and the Fir Park club may well be keen to cash in on one of their highly rated stars to raise funds, hot on the heels of James McFadden's move to Everton.
