Adeboyejo makes debut for Bolton after sealing transfer, models his game after Obafemi Martins

A day after completing his transfer to League One club Bolton Wanderers, Nigerian-born striker Victor Adeboyejo made his debut for the Trotters against Charlton Athletic at the Valley.  

Adeboyejo entered the game as a substitute in the 56th minute as a replacement for another January signing and Nigeria-eligible player, Shola Shoretire.

The former Arsenal and Leyton Orient youth teamer has put pen to paper on a three-and-a-half-year contract with Bolton Wanderers. 

Before his switch to the University of Bolton Stadium for an undisclosed fee on Friday, he was having a banner season at Burton Albion, scoring thirteen goals from 34 appearances in all competitions. 

Adeboyejo has admitted that he models his game after former Nigeria international Obafemi Martins. 

"Obafemi Martins was one Nigerian striker that I thought was good and I tried to pick up things from him that I can add to my game in terms of his pace and power," he told allnigeriasoccer.com.

The 25-year-old Adeboyejo has been assigned the number 29 at Bolton Wanderers.
