Norwich winger Yanic Wildschut is poised to join Championship rivals Bolton Wanderers on loan, HITC Sport understands from sources close to the club.

Bolton, Wigan and Ipswich showed interest in signing Wildschut during this transfer window, but the Trotters have moved quickly to beat their rivals to the Dutchman’s signature.

Wildschut’s arrival will come as a major boost to Bolton boss Phil Parkinson as he looks to add to his attacking options before the start of the new season next month.

Wildschut is out of favour at Norwich and the Canaries were open to offers for the Dutchman this summer.

The 26-year-old spent the second half of last season on loan at Cardiff City, but made only three starts for the Bluebirds as they won promotion back to the Premier League.

Cardiff decided against making Wildschut’s loan move permanent meaning he had to return to Norwich this summer.

Wildschut joined Norwich for a fee believed to be in the region of £7m during the 2017 January transfer window, but he has struggled to make an impact at Carrow Road.
