The 23-year-old was instrumental in earning his side a hard-fought 0-0 draw at home to Arsenal, and nearly came close to nicking all three points late on.

Coyle claims Davies is improving week upon week, and says he would not be surprised if Fabio Capello came knocking because of the different option he would offer England in midfield.

The Bolton boss told reporters: “Mark Davies is getting better every week. To be honest I thought he started sluggishly in the first 10 minutes, but I thought from that point on he really showed his quality and driving forward with the ball.

“If he carries on like that I wouldn’t be surprised if Mr Capello came calling because he’s different from the midfield players we have in the country, he’s such an exciting young player and that’s a great thing.

“We’re trying to build a young progressive team, we’re looking to improve at every opportunity.”

Meanwhile, Coyle praised his side’s levels of fitness during the clash with Arsene Wenger's side. However, despite the impressive point, the Bolton boss is cautious not to get carried away with himself as he knows they are still in a precarious position in the league.

He continued: “In the second half we got stronger, it was great, because usually when you’ve put that much into a game sometimes it can leave you leggy, but we looked strong and truth be told we could have probably won the game late on, so there was a lot to be pleased about.

“We must continue our momentum to move forward because we’re still in a dangerous area of the league, but to get away from there you need to pick up points and nights like this will certainly hep to do that.”

Arsenal were able to welcome back Mikel Arteta and long-term absentee Bacary Sagna to the starting line-up. However, the news was not so good on the injury front for Jack Wilshere, who has suffered a further set-back in his quest for fitness.

Coyle was sympathetic of Arsene Wenger’s predicament, but has backed the Frenchman to pull through a tough period for the club.

“I think we know that similar to ourselves they’ve suffered by injuries to key players,” he added.

“But, I think when Arsenal have a full disposal of their players they can go toe-to-toe with anybody.

“They’ve got one of the best managers in modern football, they’ve got an elite squad of players and there’s no doubt that it only takes one big performance, one big result to kick-start that momentum again.”
