Bolton Wanderers Victor Adeboyejo feeling settled after move
The striker, signed for a six-figure fee from Burton Albion 12 months ago, admits it has taken time for him to show his very best form for his new club.
Still relatively inexperienced in the number nine role, having played as a winger in his early days at Barnsley, the Nigerian has netted seven goals this season including a hat-trick against Fleetwood.
His eye-catching performance on Tuesday night in the FA Cup replay against Luton Town drew praise from supporters, and Adeboyejo hopes there will be plenty more like it to come.
“I was pleased with the way I played,” he told The Bolton News. “Everyone has getting used to each other – even I’m getting used to the fans. It always takes a bit of time to get to know your surroundings but once you do, you can show your best side.
“Then, whether you like it or not, is down to them. But I am happy to be on the right side of the equation right now.
“It was a big step, coming to a team and a club of this size, with the mentality, the style of play, it is a big gap.
“And I have learned myself not to get too high when it is going well, or too low when it is not going for me. I am starting to find that balance.”
Adeboyejo’s presence has seemingly brought the best out of Dion Charles, who netted his 17th goal of the season against Luton in midweek and is on course for his third 20-goal haul in the last four seasons in League One.
But, with a nod to fellow front men Jon Dadi Bodvarsson and Cameron Jerome, the 26-year-old believes each partnership at Ian Evatt’s disposal is showing signs of improvement.
