Sturridge joins Bolton on loan

Daniel Sturridge has left defending Premier League champion Chelsea to join Bolton on loan until the end of the season.

The England under-21 international hasn't started a league match for Chelsea this season and would have found first-team opportunities even more limited with the impending arrival of Fernando Torres from Liverpool.

Bolton manager Owen Coyle says the former Manchester City striker "is a terrific young talent and one of the most exciting strikers in the country."

Bolton is currently 11th in the Premier League standings.
