Nottingham Forest have suffered a blow to their hopes of signing Blackpool winger Josh Bowler this January.
Forest have tracked Bowler throughout the transfer window, reportedly having a third bid rejected last week, according to LancsLive.
However, as Steve Cooper seeks to add attacking weapons to his team as they push to secure a playoff berth in the closing stages of the season, they have suffered a Bowler blow as other rivals are rumoured to have entered the fraw.
