Forgotten Premier League winger targeted by Sheffield United
Sheffield United are keen on Nottingham Forest winger Josh Bowler, as per a report from the Nottingham Forest News.
Sheffield United are in the market for a whole host of new signings as manager Chris Wilder leads a rebuild at Bramall Lane.
A whole host of players have moved on from the club following relegation from the Premier League and more departures are likely. It has seen Wilder’s ranks dwindle, so reinforcements are a must.
Now, a new name is said to have emerged on the Blades’ radar.
The Nottingham Forest News reports that Sheffield United are keen on winger Josh Bowler, who has fallen far down the pecking order at the City Ground with Forest. A loan deal is more likely than a permanent one.
He signed for the club in September 2022 after a starring stint with Blackpool but has never played for the club competitively.
He was instantly loaned out to Olympiacos before a return to Bloomfield Road. The 25-year-old then spent last season with Cardiff City, notching five goals and two assists in 39 games.
Bowler has one year left on his contract with Nottingham Forest and it seems highly unlikely that he has a future under Nuno Espirito Santo.
After time in the QPR and Everton youth setups, Bowler looked as though he’d really found some momentum when he became a star performer for Blackpool during their stay in the Championship.
He hit fantastic form as the Tangerines staved off relegation in the 2021/22 season and his move up to Nottingham Forest was a deserved one.
Perhaps a permanent move would be ideal, allowing him to leave his tough Forest stint in the past. Sheffield United may well try to tempt the club into that, even if the parent club feel a temporary deal is most likely.
