Bolton eyeing moves for Dundalk pair Horgan and Towell

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.

Brentford eye a move for Dundalk midfielder Towell

Richie Towell was the Airtricity / SWAI Player of the Month for August last year but will he still be at Oriel Park by the end of this summer?

Brentford are the latest side to be linked with a move for Dundalk midfielder Richie Towell.

Reports from England have revealed that the newly-promoted Championship outfit sent assistant manager David Weir to watch the 22-year-old midfielder in the last few days.

It is understood that Weir – a former Everton and Rangers defender – was in Dalymount Park last Friday to monitor Towell.

He won’t have been disappointed either as the former Celtic and Hibs star hit a stunning 25-yard strike early in the second half to help Dundalk to a 2-0 victory over Bohemians.

Charlton, Barnsley and Leeds Utd were among the clubs said to be also interested in Towell in recent months.

Brentford, who play in the London borough of Hounslow, recently finished as runners-up in League One with manager Mark Warburton looking to strengthen the squad at Griffin Park ahead of their Championship campaign in August.

Danny O’Connor has shared a picture on Twitter of Sky Sports soccer pundit Graeme Souness walking down Park Street last night.

The former Liverpool player and manager was snapped walking past the Phoenix Bar.

Here’s hoping he didn’t bump into any Celtic supporters considering his Rangers past….
