JAVI Moreno is aiming to supply the goals that will fire Wanderers into Europe.
He may only be at the Reebok for half-a-season, but he has no intention of settling for half-measures during his time on loan from Atletico Madrid.
The 29-year old Spaniard, a UEFA Cup finalist during a successful spell at Alaves, is confident he can be a success in the Premiership and sees no reason why Bolton fans should not share his optimism.
"Moving to Bolton is a great opportunity for me," he said as he settled into life in England.
"I have been training hard with them and the team are very united.
"I am looking to play football and get Bolton into the UEFA Cup, which is a good possibility."
Moreno had a prolific record at Alaves, top-scoring in La Liga with 22 goals in 34 games during the 2000-2001 season.
His two goals in that season's UEFA Cup Final defeat by Liverpool earned him a big money move to AC Milan but he failed to make an impression in Italy and, since moving back to Spain with Atletico, he has struggled to get his once-glittering career back on track.
He scored just four goals in his first season and has not started a game so far in this campaign, having been kept out of the picture by the highly-rated 19-year-old striker Torres.
But when Sam Allardyce flew to Spain to check out Moreno's character for himself, he discovered he not only still had the appetite for goals but also a selfless enthusiasm to roll up his sleeves and muck in.
"I am confident that given a chance to play I will score goals," the Spaniard said, "but I have not come here to be the star, I have come to work hard and be a team player.
"It is a new experience for me and I needed a change of air because in Spain the situation was not any good for me as I was not playing, I don't know why.
"I never think how many goals I will score but I think I am suited to the English game, it is more physical and attacking and so, for the forwards, it is better.
"I saw Bolton's game in the FA Cup on television and I realised that the game is totally different here.
"In Spain, the referee is always blowing his whistle and the play is interrupted and there are more yellow cards, while the game is much quicker here.
"I came here to learn the language and because it is a completely different way of football and I think more and more Spanish players are coming for that reason."
Moreno admits he was taken aback by the pace and directness of the English game after getting a half-an-hou runout against Manchester United in midweek.
"The great difference that I found is that here they play a much more direct type of football," he said.
"They play the ball forward quickly and the strikers barely have time to control the ball."
But he is confident he will quickly acclimatise to life in England, and is determined to repay the faith shown in him by Bolton.
"I don't think it will be difficult to adapt," he added. "Ivan Campo is helping me a lot and the fans are being great with me.
"My intention is to show my ability as, when the loan ends, I have to return to Atletico, and I hope to play with the regularity that I have not had up to now.
"I hope to be able to respond to the confidence shown in me, and to the kindness that all the Bolton directors have given me."
