June 27 (Reuters) - Bolton Wanderers have signed Sweden striker Johan Elmander on a three-year deal from French club Toulouse for an undisclosed transfer fee.

"He is a player who will get us goals and create other opportunities for his team-mates," manager Gary Megson told the Premier League club's Web site (www.bwfc.co.uk), adding that Norway striker Daniel Braaten had moved the other way in a cash plus player deal.

The 27-year-old former Feyenoord striker, who played in all three of Sweden's Euro 2008 matches, is Wanderers' second pre-season signing after midfielder Fabrice Muamba joined from relegated Birmingham City earlier this month.
