HITC Sport understands Wigan Athletic, Bradford City and Bolton Wanderers are tracking Burnley striker Chris Long.
Wigan Athletic, Bolton Wanderers and Bradford City are eyeing a move for Burnley striker Chris Long, who is currently on loan at Fleetwood Town, HITC Sport understands from sources close to the club.
Long is currently on a season-long loan deal at Fleetwood after joining the League One club last summer.
Burnley’s Chris Long in action
The 21-year-old has been in and out of the Fleetwood side this season, scoring four goals in 15 starts in League One this term.
Competition for a place in attack in the Fleetwood side is fierce at the minute with Uwe Rosler’s side riding high in fourth place in the League One table.

A number of clubs are monitoring Long’s situation as they look to bolster their attacking options before the transfer window closes next week.
Bolton are looking for a striker to help aid their promotion bid, while League One rivals Bradford are also in the market for striking reinforcements after agreeing to sell James Hanson to Sheffield United.
Wigan boss Warren Joyce is believed to be an admirer of Long, and is said to be keen to bring him to the DW Stadium to help his Wigan’s survival battle in the Championship.
Long joined Burnley from Everton in the summer of 2015 and made 10 league appearances for the Clarets last season, as they won promotion to the Premier League.
