Bolton Wanderers would 'love' to sign Marlon Fossey on a permanent basis after his loan spell from Fulham has got off to a flying start.
The 23-year-old moved on loan to Wanderers from the Cottagers near the beginning of the January transfer window for the rest of the season.
Fossey has impressed on the right-flank for Wanderers with his abilities to get in behind defenders and put in dangerous crosses across his five appearances for the club so far.

He has excelled in the right wing-back role after Ian Evatt's side recently changed formation to a 3-5-2 to utilise both wing-backs and a strike partnership.
Fossey is under contract at the Championship side until the summer of 2023, but Wanderers boss Evatt revealed discussions have already taken place with Fulham over the possibility of Bolton having Fossey on a permanent basis.
The Bolton boss is well aware that the defender's performances could also attract the attentions of others and accepted there is still a long way to go with Fossey's future at the club, but is very much a fan of the player.
Evatt said: “We’ve been strategic in our decision making this window. Marlon is someone that we’d love to take permanently and there’s already been discussions there, so we feel like we’re in a good place.
“The more he plays and how well he’s doing at the moment, people are going to highlight him as a potential for the future, but we really like him.
"We love his attitude, we love what he’s done so far but there’s still a long way to go.”
