Mark Davies like Gazza claims Bolton Wanderers boss Coyle

Bolton Wanderers boss Owen Coyle believes midfielder Mark Davies is similar to former England star Paul Gascoigne.

Coyle reckons Davies has many of Gazza’s footballing attributes.

The Scot said: “Mark’s style of play is a rare commodity. There are not many midfielders around who can keep the ball like he does.

“When Mark is at his best he drives forward and takes people on. The best example of that was Paul Gascoigne who could drive with the ball.

“Mark has a long way to go to get to that level, he has got to get a level of consistency into his game. But he has got great quick feet and he has got an end product to his play as well.

“He also has great fitness levels, with continued development in the next six to twelve months he could go on to play for anybody. There is no doubt he has a huge career ahead of him.”
