How much money Rotherham United will demand Bolton Wanderers pay for Sam Nombe revealed | OneFootball

Bolton Wanderers are seeking attacking reinforcements ahead of the transfer deadline on Monday

Rotherham United have quoted Bolton Wanderers a £2 million asking price for Sam Nombe amid interest in attacking options to end the January window.

According to The Bolton News, Steven Schumacher is still keen to bolster his squad following the arrival of Corey Blackett-Taylor on loan from Derby County.

The winger has arrived for the second half of the campaign, with the Whites targeting promotion to the Championship.

Blackett-Taylor has made just nine appearances for the Rams in the league this season, starting only twice, and has contributed one assist.

Meanwhile, Nombe has scored six from 12 games in League One for the Millers, recently making his return to the team following an injury lay-off.

Bolton told £2m Sam Nombe asking price

Rotherham have set an asking price of £2 million for Nombe as we approach the final days of the January market.

It’s believed that the Whites are not currently willing to pay that kind of figure, with an enquiry also being made to Charlton Athletic for Rob Apter.

The 22-year-old made a bright start to the campaign with the Addicks, but has since fallen down the pecking order of Nathan Jones’ side.

He’s contributed one goal from 13 appearances in the Championship, but he has not featured since coming off the bench on 29 December in a 2-1 loss to Portsmouth.

It remains to be seen whether Bolton can get either move over the line before the 2 February transfer deadline.

The arrival of Talyor-Blackett could also impact their decision to continue their pursuit of further attacking options.

However, it’s understood that Schumacher is keen for two or three additions, with the market set to close at 7pm on Monday.

Next up for third place Bolton is a trip to face AFC Wimbledon on 31 January in a 12.30pm kick-off.

Fitness issues are a concern for Sam Nombe pursuit

Bolton reinforcing their attacking options makes sense, even with players like Mason Burstow and Amario Cozier-Duberry playing well this season.

The pair are both on loan, and there are no guarantees that they will be with the team next season, so strengthening now could be wise.

However, the fitness issues around Nombe this campaign are a concern, so it’s understandable that the £2 million fee might be offputting for now.
