Bolton Wanderers Secure Middlesbrough Striker Marcus Forss Loan

Bolton Wanderers have secured the loan signing of Finnish striker Marcus Forss from Middlesbrough to bolster their attacking options as they aim to improve their League One standing. Forss, 26, who has scored 18 goals in 92 appearances for Middlesbrough, has struggled with injuries and limited playing time this season, prompting the move. Despite interest from Championship and European clubs, Forss chose Bolton, where he hopes to reignite his goalscoring form and contribute to the team's promotion ambitions. Manager Steven Schumacher expressed confidence that the new signings, including Forss, will strengthen the squad and provide much-needed competition in forward positions. Forss has past experience in League One, having scored 11 goals on loan at AFC Wimbledon, and aims to adapt to the league's physical style. The loan deal is expected to be finalized before the transfer deadline, with Forss potentially available for upcoming fixtures.
