HITC Sport understands Bury line up move for non-league hit-man Gold Omotayo.
League Two Bury are leading the chase to sign prolific non-league striker Gold Omotayo, HITC Sport understands from sources close to the club.
Omotayo burst on to the scene last season when he scored 11 goals in just 15 games for National League South side Whitehawk.
The 24-year-old only joined Whitehawk in December after playing amateur football in Switzerland.
Omotayo has made a big impression during his short time at Whitehawk, and his goal-scoring exploits have brought him to the attention of clubs higher up the football pyramid.
Scouts from a number of Football League clubs watched the powerful target man in action last season and they are ready to follow up their interest during this summer’s transfer window.
Bury have been keeping tabs on the Swiss-born Nigerian for some time and they believe he is ready to make the step up to league football.
Bury boss Ryan Lowe is keen to bolster his attacking options as he looks to mount a bid for promotion back to League One at the first time of asking and he sees Omotayo as a key addition to his plans.
Brighton-based Whitehawk are unlikely to stand in Omotayo’s way of moving into the professional ranks if they receive the right offer.
