CHERRIES are reportedly attempting a “£1million swoop” for Blackpool winger Josh Bowler, according to reports.

The Sun claim the Dorset club bid more than £3million for the 23-year-old in January but will now “try their luck” at £1million this time round.

Bowler scored eight times in 45 appearances for the Tangerines last season, having signed on a one-year deal from Everton in June 2021.

Blackpool confirmed last month they had triggered an option to extend the winger’s contract by 12 months.

Cherries, who were back in for pre-season testing on Saturday, have already added two fresh faces to their squad on free transfers.

Full-back Ryan Fredericks finalised his move to Vitality Stadium on Wednesday, while midfielder Joe Rothwell’s deal was announced on Saturday.
