Charlton Athletic hoping to cling on to Bolton Wanderers target Igor Vetokele

Neil Lennon has targeted the Angola international as the man he wants to bolster his attack and is seeking a short-term loan.

But the final decision rests with the 23-year-old striker, who has fallen out of favour at The Valley and made just one start this season after an encouraging debut campaign that saw him score 11 goals.

Speaking after last night’s 4-1 defeat at Crystal Palace the Charlton boss said he was aware of Wanderers’ involvement but did not know whether the move would go through.

“I have heard about the interest,” he told The South London Press. “I don’t know what has happened. I hope he will stay because we don’t have a big squad but we will see.”
