HITC Sport understands QPR, Bolton and Sheffield United are after the Watford defender.
Tommie Hoban celebrates scoring for Blackburn last season
Watford defender Tommie Hoban is a target for Queens Park Rangers, Bolton Wanderers and Sheffield United on loan next season, HITC Sport understands from sources close to the club.
Hoban spent last season on loan at Blackburn, but saw his spell at Ewood Park restricted by a dislocated shoulder injury.
The 23-year-old made only 16 appearances during his time at Blackburn because of the injury, but he impressed despite the club suffering relegation from the Championship.

The former Arsenal trainee is highly-regarded at Watford after working his way through the academy to the first-team.
Hoban still has two years to run on his current deal at Vicarage Road, but he is well down the pecking order in the first-team and the club feel he would be best served by going out on loan again to get regular first-team football.
QPR are keen to bring in Hoban to bolster their defensive options, but newly-promoted Bolton and Sheffield United are also hoping to land the former Republic of Ireland Under-21 international as they plan for life in the Championship next season.
Watford are now weighing up the options for Hoban before deciding where to send the versatile defender on loan for next season.
