WANDERERS have offered teenage keeper Erik Bukran a two-year deal at the Reebok, according to his former coach.
The 16-year-old Hungarian is on the verge of a move to England from Honved, claims Daniel Illyes, who worked with him at the Eger Goalkeeping Academy.
There has been no confirmation from Wanderers but Bukran would most likely move straight into David Lee’s under-18s team should the move go-ahead.
Illyes believes the youngster has the talent to follow countryman Adam Bogdan into the first team ranks.
“Erik signed to us at the age of 13 and we saw he had a big future,” he said. “A year later Budapest Honved signed him and now we can say that Bolton have signed him for two years on a fellowship contract.
“It is only two years because the FA only allows professional contracts from the age of 18. Honved have done good business with Bukran’s transfer.
“It is evident that besides his talent, Adam Bogdan helped to take him to Bolton. They thought, ‘If a Hungarian was a good choice before then why shouldn’t we sign another one?’”
