Richie Towell with SSE Airtricity’s Leanne Sheil after being named Player of the Month for April last month
English Championship side Bolton Wanderers are amongst the clubs keeping an eye on Dundalk pair Richie Towell and Daryl Horgan at present.
It is understood that manager Neil Lennon watched the midfield pair last week but according to reports it is unclear how deep the Armagh man’s interest is in bringing them to the Macron Stadium.
While Stephen Kenny would not like losing any player, it would be hard for either to resist the temptation of linking up with a squad that includes well known names such as Emile Heskey, Eidur Gudjohnsen, Jay Spearing and Adam Bogdan.
Towell, who was heavily linked with a move across the water at the end of last season, has been in scintillating form so far this year with 12 goals to date from midfield, including 10 in 14 league appearances.
Horgan has also been in stunning form of late, with six goals so far this season from the left wing, including five last month alone.
Motherwell, who last weekend avoided relegation from the Scottish Premier League with a play-off victory over Rangers, are also believed to be keeping an eye on Towell with manager Ian Baraclough familiar with the former Celtic and Hibernian man from his time managing Sligo Rovers. Motherwell have also been linked to former Lilywhites midfielder Greg Bolger, now of St Patrick’s Athletic.
