BOLTON Wanderers have completed the signing of defender Danny Shittu from Watford in a £2million deal.

The former Blackpool player underwent a medical last night and has signed a three-year contract.

Wanderers have fought off competition to land Shittu who had been linked with a number of clubs in the Championship.

Meanwhile, Johan Elmander will miss Bolton's final pre-season game against AEK Athens after flying home from their Greek training camp.

The Swedish international was due to feature in the 1-1 draw against Aris Salonika on Monday night.

But his wife went into labour and Elmander received permission to cut short his stay. Tweet
