Dundalk midfielder Richie Towell scored an impressive 25 league goals in just 32 games last term in the Irish Premier Division.
The 24-year-old, who is a former Republic of Ireland Under-21 international, scored a sensational 27 goals in 36 appearances in all competitions for the League of Ireland side last season to lift the Irish Premier Division and FA Cup.
Towell, who is a former trainee of Scottish Premiership champions Celtic, has already revealed that he has turned down offers to move abroad to Turkey and Poland after the expiration of his contract at Dundalk ran out.
