Rotherham United respond to transfer-window report over Sam Nombe
ROTHERHAM United have strongly refuted claims that there has been an approach for striker Sam Nombe from a rival League One club.
A report in the north west this afternoon suggested that Bolton Wanderers had made an enquiry about the Millers' seven-goal top scorer and had been quoted a fee of £2 million.
A high-ranking official at AESSEAL New York Stadium has since told the Advertiser that there has been no contact from the Trotters about the 27-year-old hot-shot who cost Rotherham just over £1m when they signed him from Exeter City in the summer of 2023.
The club’s policy is to not comment on transfer stories but in this instance they wanted to make it clear to supporters how keen they are to hang on to their main man in this month's transfer window.
Nombe is seen as a key figure in the battle against relegation.
The centre-forward has 18 months left on his contract and it may be that he leaves South Yorkshire in the summer.
For now, Rotherham, who are at home to fellow drop-zone team Northampton Town tonight, aren't thinking about a sale of their major playing asset.
They would much rather add to their attacking numbers than reduce them and are seeking to bring in an extra frontman to their squad before the Monday 7pm close of business.
