Nottingham Forest 'increase' transfer bid for winger as asking price emerges

Nottingham Forest have reportedly increased their bid to sign Josh Bowler but remain short of Blackpool's asking price.

The 23-year-old has been on the Reds' radar since January and Steve Cooper remains keen to add the Championship star to his squad before Thursday's deadline. Bowler is out of contract in June and Blackpool could sell to claim some sort of fee.

Earlier in the week, Forest were said to have a £2.5million bid rejected for the former Everton man. Now, according to journalist Alan Nixon, the Reds have increased their offer to £3million, but Blackpool remain keen to hold out for £4million.
