Sordell, 20, was left out of the squad for Tuesday's game against Millwall in order to complete the move before the 11pm transfer deadline.
Personal terms have yet to have been agreed, but the England Under-21s star is expected to swap the Championship for the Premier League tonight.
It is Bolton's second deadline day signing, following the capture of Arsenal winger Ryo Miyaichi on loan.
