Bolton hope to announce the triple signings of Stephen Dobbie, Lawrie Wilson and Emile Heskey on Wednesday, according to manager Neil Lennon.

Dobbie and Wilson have been on trial with Wanderers in recent weeks, following their respective releases from Crystal Palace and Charlton Athletic, and have impressed during a series of pre-season outings, while Heskey is on the verge of agreeing terms on an extended stay at Macron Stadium after joining the club last year.

Speaking after Tuesday's 2-1 win at Port Vale, Lennon expressed his delight at the performances of summer signings Derik Osede and Ben Amos, whilst also revealing a trio of arrivals are waiting to be formalised.

"Derik has been very good, but he has to learn to cope with the physical players," Lennon said. "I'm delighted with him.

"Ben is a very good goalkeeper at this level.

"Stephen and Lawrie will hopefully sign (on Wednesday), as will Emile, so that's going to bolster the squad and then we've got the likes of Zach Clough, Tim Ream, David Wheater and Darren Pratley to come back in.

"You're always looking for more but we're in a good position."
