Promotion-chasing League One team said to want Rotherham United's Sam Nombe
ROTHERHAM United top scorer Sam Nombe is the subject of transfer-window interest from Bolton Wanderers, according to a report in the north west.
The Millers are said to have quoted their League One rivals a price of £2 million for the 27-year-old who has bagged seven goals in 12 appearances during an injury-interrupted campaign.
The claim has been made by a respected journalist who covers the Trotters.
There has been no word at the Rotherham end, although manager Matt Hamshaw said last week that there had been no January bids for the hot-shot who has 18 months left on his deal at AESSEAL New York Stadium.
He will face questions on the subject after tonight's Rotherham home clash with Northampton Town.
Nombe scored against Bolton last season and also hit the target against them earlier this term.
He is seen by Rotherham as being crucial to their fight against relegation and they will want to hold on to him until the summer.
The striker told the Advertiser last week that he wasn't thinking about a move away from South Yorkshire.
He said: "I've not been told anything, so it's not in my thoughts at this time. It doesn't cross my mind. I'm focused on what I can do in each game.
"If I'm here, if I'm not here ... in every game, it's just my job to go and score."
Bolton, who are in the top six, want to sign a centre-forward before next Monday's close of the window but are thought to be not willing to spend £2m.
