"Absolutely" - Bolton Wanderers urged to pip Huddersfield Town to Stoke City star | OneFootball

The Terriers are reportedly weighing up a move for the Potters' youngster.

Stoke City youngster Nathan Lowe is an attacking option that an abundance of League One clubs are sure to be looking at this summer.

The natural progression of an impressive League Two loanee is to then move up to the division above and continue to apply their trade there, unless their parent club is in that new league.

Lowe absolutely smashed the fourth tier through the first half of last season, so much so that his 15 goals for Walsall before he returned to Stoke earned him a number of season-wide award nominations.

Now clubs from the third tier are after the 19-year-old striker, one of them being Huddersfield Town, as per Alan Nixon. Stoke reportedly value the striker at £2.5 million.

Bolton Wanderers' boss, Steven Schumacher, was in charge of Lowe's parent club before he joined the Trotters, and should therefore know all about him.

One of Football League World's Bolton fan pundits, Liam O'Meara, believes that the head coach should be using this pre-existing connection between him and the teenage sensation to try and strike a deal with his former club for the forward.

Bolton urged to beat Huddersfield to Nathan Lowe loan deal

"I think a lot of the teams at League One level will be looking at that loan," said O'Meara. "In terms of Schumacher and Bolton, yeah, I mean, absolutely [they should look to sign him].

"We've seen Niall Ennis, now we've missed out on that one go to Blackpool, so I think there'll be a host of clubs might up for Nathan Lowe, and if he is available, Bolton should absolutely look to get that signing done.

"He would give us an alternative option to what we've already got. In terms of protecting transfer value, I think joining a team that is theoretically going to be in the top six, you would think, in Bolton next season, you are giving it the best opportunity to have as many chances as possible

"From a Stoke perspective, I think it would make sense. Yeah, I'm absolutely for that move."

Nathan Lowe would be an ideal addition for Bolton

Bolton lost arguably their best attacking threat to MK Dons not too long ago. Aaron Collins, who netted a dozen times for them in League One campaign, was bought for £800,000. He and Lowe are very different players - the Stoke striker is a much more traditional centre-forward - but the Welshman's goals will need replacing.

Without Collins, there is a slight lack of obvious options as to where the goals are going to come from. Sam Dalby has been brought in as a free agent, who could help bare this load, but it's been proven already that the Stoke teenager is a potent finisher. You can't get enough of those in your team.
