Exclusive: Charlton Athletic, Wrexham, Bolton Wanderers & Portsmouth in transfer hunt for 7-goal forward | OneFootball

Dungannon Swifts attacker Tomas Galvin is being watched by several EFL clubs

A host of EFL clubs, including Championship side Portsmouth and newly-promoted Wrexham, are keen on landing Northern Irish prospect Tomas Galvin this summer, sources have exclusively told Football League World.

The small nation across the Irish Sea has been the breeding ground for some talented players over the years, and Galvin could be the next one in-line to move to the English leagues.

Currently playing for NIFL Premiership side Dungannon Swifts, who sit fourth in the NIFL Premiership table, the 20-year-old attacker is being tracked by a number of second and third tier clubs, although it will cost to secure his services.

Wrexham, Bolton, Charlton & Portsmouth interested in Dungannon Swifts forward Tomas Galvin

FLW has been told that no fewer than four EFL sides have been tracking Galvin ahead of the summer transfer window.

Portsmouth are one of those, and they are no stranger to landing a punt from Northern Ireland, as they have seen versatile midfielder/full-back Terry Devlin - a former Dungannon player himself - become a success since his 2023 move from Glentoran.

Along with John Mousinho's Pompey in the mix are Wrexham, who secured their promotion to the Championship this past weekend, but both Bolton Wanderers and Charlton Athletic are also hoping to steal a march on their competition in the race for Galvin too.

Tomas Galvin has had an impressive season for Dungannon Swifts

A product of the Dungannon academy, Galvin made his first-team debut in April 2023, but it was the 2023-24 season where he had his real breakout, finding the back of the net 10 times in all competitions from 34 appearances.

Galvin has continued that impressive form into 2024-25, with seven goals in 35 outings, and that has come from just 16 starts, with the 20-year-old occupying other positions rather than just a central striker, such as playing in the number 10 role and wide out on the left flank.

Galvin is not out of contract though heading into the summer window, with his deal running at Stangmore Park until the end of the 2025-26 season, so any club wanting the versatile attacker will need to shell out a transfer fee to secure his services.
