As Requested TRP:
BATH are leading
the hunt for Alex
Lozowski as the
departures from
disgraced Premiership
champions
Saracens pick
up the pace.
Lozowski, 26,
is out of contract
this
summer and is
set to leave
Allianz Park
in a bid to
revive his
international
career.
The son of
former Wasps
and England
centre Rob, he
moved to Saracens in
2016 after a two-year
stint with his dad’s
former club.
Lozowski, who plays
at centre or fly-half,
and started his career
with Leeds Carnegie is
a leading target for
Bath boss Stuart
Hooper.
Springbok prop Vincent
Koch is attracting
interest from his native
South Africa with the
Blue Bulls hoping to
sign him.
England second row
George Kruis is set to
knock back La
Rochelle because he
fancies a move to
Japan. La Rochelle
have started to follow
Will Skelton on Instagram
while Lyon have
also been linked.
Nick Tompkins, who
was called into Wales’
Six Nations squad, is a
target for the Scarlets
who would like to take
him on loan next
season.
Blindside understands
that several
Premiership clubs
have put talks on hold
with earlier targets
because they are trying
to grab a bargain from
any Saracens fire sale.
But the majority of
Saracens’ England
hopefuls are likely to
leave on loan while
stars like Owen Farrell,
Maro Itoje and
Jamie George are staying.
Ben Spencer has
been interesting Bristol,
Exeter Chiefs,
Bath, Newcastle Falcons
and Northampton
Saints.
We have also heard
Saints could be interested
in Ben Earl while
Bristol have also been
looking at him.
Chiefs could also
come in for Max Malins
while Jack Singleton
and Nick Isiekwe
