Official: Bolton sign striker Marvin Sordell from Watford
The forward, who has scored 10 goals in the Championship this term, has penned a three-and-a-half year deal with Owen Coyle's side
By Chris Davie
The 20-year-old penned a three-and-a-half year deal on deadline day and becomes the third player to arrive at the Reebok in the January transfer window following Tim Ream from New York Red Bulls and Ryo Miyaichi, who signed on a loan deal from Arsenal until the end of the season.
Sordell has netted 10 times in the Championship for Watford this season and has made six appearances for England's Under-21 side.
"I am delighted to have brought Marvin to our club, as there were a number of other Premier League clubs tracking him," Coyle told the club's official website.
"We know that he has great potential and I am really looking forward to working with him.
"Overall, we're very pleased with all the players we have been able to bring in, as we have strengthened and added real quality signings to our squad."

"But, we came through. Obviously there were a lot of changes so it's good to get the result.
"Belgium are a very, very strong side who are going to be really good in the future. Vincent [Kompany] told me about them and said that they were coming good and I totally agree with him."
"[Gary] Cahill I suppose is slightly more of a concern for me because it is a jaw injury. We're desperately hoping the CT scan doesn't show any fracture and it's just going to be a bruising situation, which will be bad enough, but won't stop him taking part in the tournament. As far as John's [Terry] concerned he felt his hamstring a little bit. Again it wasn't a major thing when he came off but we still need to scan it just to be 100 per cent sure."
Suffice to say, if Cahill has broken his jaw, he won't play any part in the tournament.
