Bolton Wanderers set to loan young striker Connor Wilkinson to Northampton

Conor Wilkinson could join bottom-of-the-Football League Northampton Town on loan before the weekend.

The young striker, who arrived from Millwall in the summer, has impressed for the Wanderers development squad and had a spell at Chester earlier in the season.

Dougie Freedman rates Wilkinson, who turns 19 this week, and wants to test him out at a higher standard of football.

This would be a good move for him, Chester - Northampton is a good progression and given the fact they're bottom of the table he should get some game time. If he impresses there Im sure he'll get his chance some time next season.
