Sources: Ex-Arsenal forward Amaechi undergoing Bolton Wanderers trial
Ex-Arsenal forward Xavier Amaechi is undergoing a Bolton Wanderers trial, Football Insider can exclusively reveal.
The England Under-20 international has been given the green light to leave German second-tier club Hamburg.
A Bolton source has told Football Insider that the club have taken Amaechi on trial as they plot a potential move.
The forward, 20, spent last season on loan at Karlsruher but struggled for game time.
He has a Hamburg contract that runs until 2023 but could now be set for a return to England two years after quitting Arsenal in a £2million deal.
Ameachi made five senior appearances during his time at Hamburg.
Though predominantly deployed as a right-winger, he is accomplished on the left flank too.
He has been capped by England across various age groups and his Under-20 debut came in October 2020.
Bolton Wanderers have also opened talks with free agent and fellow forward Amadou Bakayoko after his Coventry City exit, as revealed by this site on 25th June.
The League One new boys have brought in four fresh faces in what has been a busy summer so far.
Oladapo Afolayan and Declan John signed permanently after spending the previous campaign on loan at the North West club.
Manager Ian Evatt has also recruited centre-back George Johnston and midfielder Josh Sheehan from Feyenoord and Newport County respectively.
Amaechi made just one league start among 11 appearances for Karlsrhuer in 2020-21.
Those appearances yielded two goals.
