FREE agent Josh Onomah is on the radar of Bolton.

The midfielder, 26, trained at Stoke after a spell at Preston last season and wants to get back into a club as soon as possible.

Wanderers want new faces without spending big and Onomah would fit the bill.

Onomah rose through the ranks at Tottenham and was tipped by many for Premier League success.

He represented England extensively at youth level and was handed opportunities by Tottenham – largely in cup competitions.

The midfielder was part of the England under-20 side that won the World Cup in 2017.

That age group included the likes of Dominic Solanke, Dominic Calvert Lewin and Kyle Walker Peters.

The midfielder made 32 appearances for Spurs during Mauricio Pochettino‘s tenure but was never given an extended run of starts in the team.

He finally left the club in 2019 to join Fulham following spells on loan at Aston Villa and Sheffield Wednesday.

Injuries hampered his time at Fulham, with Onomah often in and out of the team.

He made 76 appearances for the Cottagers before leaving to join Preston in 2022.

Injuries again hampered his ability to settle in the side and he made 13 appearances before leaving the club as a free agent.

Onomah has been without a club this season but training with Stoke City has kept him fit and ready for a move.
