Jewell was interested in a one month loan deal for the Nigerian international, who has only made four starts for Bolton since his £2m move from Watford in August, but was told no as Bolton couldn’t afford to lose him.

Whatever the case may be, the fact is he isn’t coming to Pride Park so Jewell must look elsewhere!
