Blackpool to stand firm amid ‘strong Championship interest’ in 22-yo player

Blackpool will stand firm and not ‘cave in’ when it comes to selling Josh Bowler to Nottingham Forest in the remaining days of the transfer window, reports Football League World.

Forest’s interest in Bowler has been widely reported throughout the month, with Steve Cooper and the board at the City Ground pre-planning in the event of Brennan Johnson leaving for the Premier League.

Forest have just rejected another bid that has been made from Premier League side Brentford and the report states from John Percy that Forest are adamant the winger isn’t leaving this month.

However, last night Alan Nixon reported that Blackpool have rejected another bid from Nottingham Forest for 22-year-old Bowler.

Football League World are now reporting that the Seasiders are determined to keep hold of one of their key players this month especially so close to Monday’s deadline.

Blackpool sources insist that the club ‘won’t cave in’ when it comes to Forest’s consistent bidding for Bowler.

The 22-year-old has made 27 appearances for Neil Critchley in the Championship this season, scoring one goal and registering three assists in that time. He’s also scored once in the EFL Cup for the Seasiders.

Bowler signed a one-year extension in the summer of 2021 to remain at Blackpool until the end of this season.
