  • Bolton had agreed a fee of £3m with Burnley for the signing of the duo, and both players will travel to the Reebok Stadium on Monday to discuss personal terms.



    Owen Coyle had managed both whilst he was in charge at Burnley.





    "Burnley had hoped to persuade the players to sign extensions to their present deals," read a Burnley club statement.
