Dzemaili: Positives
Midfielder Blerim Dzemaili insists he would not change anything about his time at Bolton following his season-long loan move to Torino this week.
The Swiss international played just 45 minutes for Wanderers as he came on as a substitute for Nicky Hunt in last season's FA Cup third round defeat to Sheffield United.
He moved to the Reebok Stadium last January from FC Zurich but was sidelined by a cruciate ligament injury at the beginning of his Premier League career and never found the form to book a regular first-team place.
But the 22-year-old has no regrets about his time in England, instead drawing on the positives during his stint.
"A few years ago it was my dream to play in the Premier League and Bolton showed they really wanted to bring me there," Dzemaili told the Lancashire Telegraph.
"Now Torino have done everything to get me and it's a great chance, so I accepted with enthusiasm.
"I don't think I wasted time in England, as I got to learn a new language and face off against a very different style of play than I was accustomed to."
