HITC Sport understands a number of clubs are tracking the Bradford City youngster.

Sean Dyche, Manager of Burnley looks on prior to the Premier League match between Crystal Palace and Burnley at Selhurst Park on January 13, 2018 in London, England.

Burnley, West Bromwich Albion and Sunderland are keeping tabs on Bradford City defender Jeremie Milambo, HITC Sport understands.

Teenage left-back Milambo is very highly-rated at Bradford, after coming through the ranks at the League One club.

The 17-year-old has caught the eye playing for Bradford’s Under-18s this season and he also featured for the club’s development squad earlier this term when he was still 16.

Simon Grayson, Manager of Sunderland looks on prior to the Carabao Cup Third Round match between Everton and Sunderland at Goodison Park on September 20, 2017 in Liverpool, England.

Milambo’s progress at Bradford has not gone unnoticed among clubs higher up the football pyramid, with scouts making regular checks on the attacking full-back’s development.

Premier League duo Burnley and West Brom have been monitoring Milambo as they see him as a potential star in the making.

Sunderland, who are battling to avoid relegation from the Championship, are planning to reshape their squad next season and left-back is an area of the side they have earmarked to strengthen.

Bradford would be loathe to lose such an exciting prospect as Milambo, but they are bracing themselves for interest in the teenager at the end of the season.
