Bolton assistant Sandy Stewart believes the club have a real talent on their hands in loan striker Rodrigo Moreno.

The Spain Under-19 international joined on loan at the Reebok Stadium on transfer deadline day from Benfica after manager Owen Coyle tracked his progress throughout the summer.

The 19-year-old was originally due to sign for the Trotters from Real Madrid on loan, but had to move to the Portuguese giants as part of the deal to bring Argentina winger Angel Di Maria to the Bernabeu.

Coyle is set to give the Brazilian-born starlet a taste of first-team action this season and Stewart is confident he will adjust to the Premier League.

"He has got pace about him, so that does give us something a little bit different than we already have," Stewart told the Bolton news.

"Coming from Real Madrid, he's got all the technique you'd expect, and he has got that ability to put his foot on the ball and make things happen.

"We've got some good strikers at the club but Rodrigo gives us something else.

"You've got to remember he's still young, so we've got to be careful about loading too much pressure on him, but he's got a great pedigree and we really like what we have seen of him so far.

"Having Marcos Alonso here, who he played with at Madrid, will also help him settle, no doubt.

"We watched him several times last season at Madrid and then again in the Under-19 championships for Spain. It's clear he has got a lot of ability.

"And I don't think he will struggle physically. I don't want people to think he's another Kevin Davies - but he will put himself about no problem at all, and we like that."
