McGugan bid war


Nottingham Forest are expecting to fight off bids for Lewis McGugan this summer after a sterling run of form from the midfielder in the promotion run-in.

The 19-year-old scored three times in the last five games, including two stunning free-kicks against Bristol Rovers and Yeovil to cap off the critical 20-yard strike at Hartlepool.

Already being watched by England under-21 manager Stuart Pearce, a host of Championship clubs are looking to line up a £3m bid-with Crystal place boss Neil Warnock leading the chase of admirers. Wolves and Birmingham have also monitored the youngster.
