Bolton Wanderers boss Ian Evatt has vowed he has full belief in his strikers amid not bringing in further reinforcements in that department this summer and feels a League One Erling Haaland is just not a realistic prospect.
Wanderers made five acquisitions over the summer. Eoin Toal and Jack Iredale have joined on permanent deals from Derry City and Cambridge United.
Two players have also been brought in on loan for the campaign. Defender Conor Bradley has joined from Liverpool, while goalkeeper James Trafford has been signed up again from Manchester City.

He believes that if they were going to make an addition in this department, he believes they would need to be better than what is already there.
Though chances have been missed, Evatt has not seen anything to think his present crop of strikers will not find the back of the net regularly this season. He believes a League One version of Manchester City's hotshot Haaland
