“Everyone knows Bolton Wanderers are a big club, and everyone knows we want to play at a higher level, so hopefully we can achieve our objective at the end of the season.

Mendes Gomes went on to explain that he is not bothered where manager Ian Evatt plays him, saying he will just do his best wherever he is placed.

Whether I need to help the team as a 10, eight or a nine I just try to do my job according to what position I am in because at the end of the day it is about helping the team.”
