Bolton Wanderers are exploring a potential move for Asmir Begovic after the goalkeeper left Leicester City this summer. The Championship newcomers, promoted via the League One play-offs, are prioritizing attacking reinforcements but have shown interest in the experienced shot-stopper. Leicester City finished 23rd in the Championship last season with 46 points, 12 wins, 16 draws, and 18 losses, scoring 58 goals and conceding 68.
Why Bolton need a new goalkeeper
Bolton currently have four goalkeepers on their books, with Jack Bonham as the first-choice. However, manager Steven Schumacher may seek additional depth, especially given Bonham’s inconsistent performances in League One. Begovic, with 256 Premier League appearances, could provide valuable experience as a backup.
Fan reaction to Begovic link
Bolton supporters are divided on the potential signing. While some question Bonham’s ability to handle the Championship, others believe Begovic would be a waste of resources. One fan noted, “Bonham has done well but isn’t good enough for the Championship.” Another added, “Rather stick with Bonham than sign Begovic.”
What’s next for Bolton?
With the transfer window closing on September 1, Bolton are focused on strengthening their attack. However, if a senior goalkeeper becomes available, they may reconsider their priorities. Begovic, now a free agent, remains an option as they prepare for their Championship campaign.
