Wanderers are ready to call in favours from the top clubs in an effort to bounce back to the Premier League at first time of asking.

Phil Gartside yesterday confirmed that the club will be scouring the loan market to add numbers to their squad, taking maximum advantage of the relationships they have built up in recent seasons.

With loan regulations more relaxed in the Championship, Owen Coyle could bring six players in on loan, and play five in his matchday 18.

And Gartside believes the approach could bear fruit, after previously hitting the jackpot with the likes of Jack Wilshere and Daniel Sturridge.

“We will be looking once again to bring players in on loan,” he said. “It has been very successful in the past couple of seasons, and the opportunity in the Championship is greater because we’re not restricted to just two.

“We have enough goodwill with the teams like Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester City and we’ll be working hard to utilise that.”

Arsenal have already offered Ryo Miyaichi for the whole of next season, while an option exists to loan one of Chelsea’s starlets as part of the deal that took Gary Cahill to Stamford Bridge.

It is understood that Dedryck Boyata is one of a handful of players at champions Manchester City who are also being considered, with the club encouraged by the improvement he showed in the final few months of the campaign.

Despite mounting speculation over some of their young stars, Gartside stuck to his belief that the club will not be forced to sell this summer.

Even though Turkish club Trabzonspor claim to be readying themselves for a bid for Chung-Yong Lee, and sources in the North East report Newcastle United have Mark Davies on their shortlist, neither has tested the Whites’ resolve.

Gartside confirmed that reports claiming Wanderers need to offload more playing staff than they already have done are wide of the mark, and that any outgoings will only be sanctioned with the full say-so of Coyle.

“All our younger players are on long-term contracts and if anything did change, it would be what we wanted to change and not driven by outside interests. It will be our choice,” he said.

“Owen’s plan will be backed – whatever he wants to do, he will get to do it.”
