Bolton Wanderers have completed the signing of Southampton winger Fabrice Fernandes on a free transfer. The Frenchman has signed a one-year deal.

Bolton manager Sam Allardyce told his club’s official website: “Fabrice will add depth to our side and being a left sided player he is a rare commodity in the modern game.

“Once I heard that he wasn’t affiliated to a Club, I moved quickly to bring him in.

“Fabrice is a high-energy player who knows the Premiership inside out. He has a sweet left foot and an abundance of skill, which will complement our talented squad.”

Fernandes added: “I am pleased to be joining such a progressive football club. I’ve been training here for a couple of days and the talent and spirit in the camp, was one of the main reasons why I decided to join.

“Bolton are now regarded as a top team in the Premier League and I’m looking forward to playing my part in their continued success.”

Tottenham Hotspur have swooped to sign Derby County striker Grzegorz Rasiak. The move is ‘subject to the completion of certain formalities’.

Spurs manager Martin Jol told his club’s official website: “Rasiak is a tall target man, a hard working, honest player with a good goal scoring record.

“He scored 45 goals in 103 games. He is a regular in the Polish international side which leads qualifying Group 6 just above England and he scored two against Israel in their recent 3-2 victory.

“A lot is said about making the step up from the Championship to the Premiership, but [Dean] Ashton and [Darren] Bent have shown that for good players it is not such a big step. I believe he will do well for us and that he will be an asset to the squad.”

Newcastle United have re-signed winger Nolberto Solano from Aston Villa on a two-year deal.

Solano told his new club’s official website: “It’s great to be back at Newcastle and I hope we can have a really successful season here.”

Newcastle chairman Freddy Shepherd added: “It’s great to have Nobby back and I am sure all the fans are thrilled by the news.”

Newcastle winger James Milner has moved in the opposite direction on a loan deal until the end of the season.

Portsmouth have signed Uruguayan striker Dario Silva from Sevilla on a two-year deal.

Silva told his new club’s official website: “I have played in both Italy and Spain which are very high standard and I rate the Premier League up with them.

“Also I have heard that the Pompey fans are crazy and I know if I can please them with what I have to offer so I hope they will be crazy about me.

“I am very pleased to sign for Pompey and my game is all about hard work and scoring goals and I will offer a lot of both and am looking forward to pulling on the blue shirt.”

Portsmouth chief executive Peter Storrie said: “He is a top quality striker who will give us that extra needed ingredient up front and around goal.

“He is one of a number of strikers from around Europe that we’ve had our eye on and we have stuck at it right up until the deadline day and reaped our reward with this player.

“Dario has played at the highest level in Italy and Spain so the Premier League will not daunt him.”

Portsmouth chairman Milan Mandaric said: “Dario has a high reputation with his prowess and I’m delighted he has signed to fufil a position that we were light in.

“There is always disappointment when you lose out on some of your targets but more than enough compensation when you eventually land one of them. Dario was one of the strikers high on our list and he was there for one reason – he scores goals and has played in the highest of company.

“In the last few days we have added the offensive midfield man we needed and brought in another striker. It has taken a lot of patience and hard work but now I hope to see the rewards of that as we look forward and move up the league.”
