Coyle: Sturridge talks must wait

Bolton Wanderers manager Owen Coyle says that talks over a Daniel Sturridge return will have to wait till the summer.

Sturridge agreed to join Bolton on loan till the summer having found first-team opportunities hard to come by at Chelsea.
And the 21-year-old striker has kick-started his career by scoring in each of his first four matches for the Trotters.
Coyle has admitted he would relish the opportunity to have Sturridge back at the Reebok next season but claims that prospect cannot be discussed just yet.

Exciting Player

"I think that conversation will be for the summer because there's a number of factors that have to be taken into account there," he said.
"I'm enjoying having Daniel at the football club at this moment, that's my focus between now and the end of the season - helping Daniel to realise all his potential, and by doing that he'll help Bolton Wanderers.
"For me, it was always going to be a win-win situation. That Chelsea would get back a player who's had the opportunity to play week-in, week-out in the Barclays Premier League, a player who's flourished in doing that.
"And I get a striker that's hungry and will score goals, and the football club benefits from that young and exciting player, as happened previously last year.
"Arsenal, ourselves and Jack Wilshere all benefited from it, and that's how I saw that scenario again with Daniel."
