The striker could be on his way out of Wigan six months after joining, with Queens Park Rangers, Ipswich Town and Barnsley all said to have expressed an interest.

Championship sides Queens Park Rangers, Ipswich Town and Barnsley have all expressed an interest in Wigan Athletic striker Omar Bogle, according to Sky Sports.

It is claimed that Bogle has been transfer listed by Wigan, who are ‘thought to value him at £800,000’.

The 25-year-old only moved to the DW Stadium in January, after scoring 19 goals for Grimsby Town during the first half of the campaign.

However, he could only manage three in 14 games for Wigan – one against QPR and two against Ipswich’s rivals Norwich City – as the Latics were relegated back to League One.

And Bogle could still end up back in the second tier this coming campaign, should QPR, Ipswich or Barnsley pursue their alleged interest.

Ipswich boss Mick McCarthy has made no secret of his desire to sign another new striker, while QPR were among the Championship’s lowest scorers last season and Barnsley have lost both Sam Winnall and Adam Armstrong this calendar year – replacing the pair with Chelsea’s Ike Ugbo on loan – meaning they could seek further reinforcements.

Sky Sports also reports that Bogle’s teammate Max Power is keen to leave the DW Stadium this summer.
