Bolton Wanderers are considering joining the race for Manchester City youngster Kian Noble as they explore late loan additions for their Championship return.
Ontheminute.com understands that the Trotters have placed Noble among their potential temporary recruits. Interest remains preliminary, with no talks advanced and City still assessing the best next step.
Competition is already established. Swansea City and Portsmouth are monitoring Noble, while Doncaster Rovers recently entered the picture.
Bolton’s involvement would provide another second-tier pathway and increase pressure on every suitor to outline a meaningful role.
For the Trotters, a loan could add youthful quality without a long-term financial commitment. They would need to demonstrate that Noble can earn regular minutes while adjusting to the demands of a higher division.
The decision may hinge less on reputation and more on development detail. Manchester City will want a clear tactical plan and consistent involvement, leaving Bolton to decide whether to formalise their interest before a rival gains the advantage.
