Speaking about his move to the Championship, Bastos said the opportunity to play his football in England was a dream come true.

"I am really happy to be in Bolton," Bastos told the club's official website. "It is a dream that really came true and I am very proud to be here.

"Dougie Freedman asked to see me which was a wonderful feeling. He is a great manager, so to hear that he likes the way I play is fantastic.

"It is a great opportunity for me. I met some of the players briefly and they were all very welcoming. I'm very excited to get going."
