Sunderland and Burnley are among those being credited with interest in the Bolton Wanderers defender.

Bolton Wanderers have not given up hope of keeping Harry Brockbank at the club, despite interest from Sunderland and Burnley, according to The Bolton News.

The newspaper claims Sunderland and Burnley are fighting over Brockbank, who was left frustrated after Bolton’s administration led to contract talks being put on hold.

But it adds that with new owners on the way, the relegated Championship club have received fresh encouragement they can keep the 20-year-old beyond the end of his contract this summer.

Brockbank only played three times for Bolton, but has been given first-team assurances by Sunderland, according to The Bolton News.

And while Burnley may not be able to offer such guarantees, owing to their continued Premier League status, they are likely to provide the best financial package.

Although out of contract, Brockbank would not come entirely free, with Bolton due training compensation providing they offer him deal on terms that are at least equal to those of his existing one, even if he later rejects it.

Sunderland, Burnley, Bolton or neither… Where will Brockbank begin next season?
