Nottingham Forest target set to start against Bristol City despite growing transfer interest

Josh Bowler will be included in the Blackpool team to face Bristol City on Saturday despite the winger’s days at Bloomfield Road appearing numbered with Nottingham Forest among the Premier League clubs interested.

Bowler is out of contract next summer and with Thursday’s transfer deadline approaching, Blackpool head coach Michael Appleton has to accept either selling one of his prized assets or risk losing him for nothing next summer.

Nottingham Forest reportedly had a £2.5million bid knocked back this month for the 23-year-old while Bournemouth - who are expected to be among the more busy top-flight clubs next week - are long-term admirers, along with Fulham and Championship rivals Watford.
