Bolton Wanderers boss Dougie Freedman rues missing out on Burnley's Danny Ings

Bolton Wanderers boss Dougie Freedman admits that he regrets not meeting Burnley's valuation and signing Danny Ings.

By Pascal Lemesre, Football League Editor | 11 February 2014

Bolton Wanderers still regret not signing Danny Ings from fellow Lancashire club Burnley, manager Dougie Freedman has revealed.

Freedman tried to recruit England Under-21 striker Ings for both former club Crystal Palace and Bolton but didn't meet the Clarets' valuation, a decision he admits that he has lived to regret, with Ings finding the net 19 times already this season.

"We were very unfortunate and couldn't just strike a deal," the Manchester Evening News quotes Freedman as saying.

"Burnley turned it down as they wanted a bit more at the time. Looking back perhaps we should have stretched it a bit more."

Freedman and Bolton, searching for their first win of 2014, take on Ings and Burnley tonight at the Reebok Stadium.
