A host of Championship clubs are weighing up moves for Blackpool star Brad Potts, HITC Sport understands from sources close to the club.

Potts has impressed for Blackpool since joining the club in the summer of 2015 after seeing out his contract at Carlisle with the Seasiders beating a number of clubs to his signature.

Potts was one of Blackpool’s shining lights in a disappointing campaign last season that saw them relegated from League One.

The former England Under-19 international has been a stand-out performer for Blackpool so far again this season with six goals and six assists from midfield and his performances have brought him to the attention of clubs higher up the football pyramid.

Blackpool are bracing themselves for interest in Potts when the transfer window reopens in January as the midfielder’s suitors look to firm up their interest in the player.

Despite being only 22 Potts boasts a wealth of experience having made over 180 appearances in his career to date after coming through the ranks at Carlisle.

Potts is in the final year of his contract at Bloomfield Road with Blackpool having an option for another year and the club are reluctant to lose their star performer.
