Defensive midfielder Damián Cáceres, who was linked with Bolton Wanderers in the summer, could be a target again this winter as the club may view strengthening the midfield as a priority. This is because Bolton is looking for a partner for Josh Sheehan, as Xavier Simons is sometimes out of position, Ethan Erhahon is prone to injury, and Atsuki Ito is preferred in an advanced role. The former Getafe player joined Cordoba during the same summer he was linked with Wanderers but was almost immediately considered not needed by the Andalusian club. As he has continued to play infrequently, Bolton might revisit the potential transfer and could have more success in signing him.
