SINCE THIS PIECE WAS WRITTEN, NAHKI HAS BUGGERED OFF TO HUDDERSFIELD TOWN COMING OFF THE BENCH TO SCORE THE WINNER ON HIS DEBUT.The race to sign Bermuda’s Nahki Wells seems to be well and truly on, with hordes of Premier League and Championship clubs said to be interested in signing the 23-year-old Bradford City striker.
After Paul Lambert's slew of European summer signings failed to make a major impact in the first half of the season, he may be tempted to look once more at the lower leagues and knows from the bitter experience of last season's League Cup exit just what young Wells has to offer.
If Lambert does want to add Wells to his strike force, he may have to see off Mark Hughes and Stoke City who fancy pairing the diminutive forward with beanpole veteran forward Peter Crouch in a bizarre "Little and Large" combination.
Celtic are said to be monitoring the situation as they may be losing Georgios Samaras.
Middlesbrough are also thought to be sniffing around as are Burnley and Nottingham Forest while Huddersfield Town are thought to be dark horses. It would take a bid of around £2million to prise the player - who scored 26 goals in 54 matches last season - away from Valley Parade.
The Bermuda international has already found the net 15 times this term despite missing a month through injury.
