West Ham United and Swansea City are among a number of clubs tracking highly-rated Fleetwood defender Amari’i Bell, HITC Sport understands from sources close to the club.
Bell has enjoyed an outstanding season for Fleetwood this term and his performances have not gone unnoticed by clubs higher up the football pyramid.
The 22-year-old has been a virtual ever-present for Uwe Rosler’s side this season and has been instrumental in their suprise push for promotion from League One.
Bell is the modern day full-back as he is equally adept at going forward as well as defending and he has chipped in with three goals and five assists from left-back this season.

West Ham and Swansea have sent scouts on a regular basis to keep tabs on Bell as they look to bolster their defence for next season, while Championship duo Brighton and Hove Albion and Norwich are also long-term admirers of Bell.
Bell, who joined Fleetwood from Birmingham in 2015, is entering the final year of his contract at Highbury and the club are bracing themselves for interest in the talented defender this summer even if they win promotion to the Championship.
Fleetwood are reluctant to lose Bell, but his suitors are ready to test their resolve to keep hold of the defender knowing he could be available for a bargain fee with his contract coming down to his last year.
