Bolton are finalizing a deal to sign 23-year-old Canada international winger Jayden Nelson from Austin FC for a fee of $1.1 million plus add-ons. The transfer proceeded after Nelson communicated his wish to move to Europe to Austin, and the club sanctioned his departure once Bolton met their asking price. Nelson, who has 16 caps and 3 goals for Canada, joined Austin FC in December 2025 and had a contract until the end of 2028. In the current Major League Soccer season, he has made 13 appearances and scored 2 goals. According to Transfermarkt, his current market value is estimated at €2.00m.
