Nottingham Forest have joined the battle for Blackpool midfielder Josh Bowler.

The Seasiders are holding out for £4m for the 23-year-old even though his contract ends this season, says The Sun.

Forest are likely to return again before the window shuts although if they are late Blackpool won't have time to bring in replacements.

Watford are also interested in Bournemouth target Bowler if they lose another forward while Fulham keep an eye on developments.

Bowler is a former Everton player.
