Hellas Verona, a Serie A club, has made a bid for Kieron Bowie, a striker for Hibernian and a member of the Scotland squad. Verona's interest follows the success of other Scottish players in the Italian top flight. They hope Bowie can replicate the impact of players like Josh Doig, who thrived after joining Verona before moving to Sassuolo.

Bowie, 23, has impressed with Hibs, scoring 15 goals in 52 games. His performances earned him two international caps and a spot as the fifth-highest scorer in the Scottish Premiership this season. Verona sees him as the latest in a line of Scottish players making their mark in Italy. This move could potentially boost his chances of playing at the upcoming World Cup.

Several Scots are currently playing in Serie A, including Che Adams, Lewis Ferguson, and Scott McTominay. Cillian Sheridan believes Verona is a good fit for Bowie. He sees it as a stepping stone. A move would allow Bowie to develop his game in a physical league. The next step is to see if Verona increases their offer.
