Everton have insisted on a recall option in the deal which has seen Joe Williams move to Bolton Wanderers on loan.

The Blues midfielder has been weighing up offers from a host of Championship clubs this week but has decided to join Bolton for the season.

But in a sign of how highly rated the 21-year-old is at Goodison, Everton have the option to recall Williams.

Hull, Birmingham and Bristol City were all chasing Williams who spent last season on loan at Barnsley but Bolton, who had manager Phil Parkinson in the stands at Goodison on Monday as Williams played for the under-23s, have won the race and now confirmed the signature of the youngster.

Bolton, who are third in the table after four games, play host to Sheffield United on Saturday.
