West Ham United defender Reece Burke has reportedly emerged as a transfer target for six clubs in the Championship.

Burke has spent the first half of the season on loan at Bolton Wanderers, with 14 appearances being made in the second tier, but the 21-year-old has since returned to the London Stadium.

Bolton want to secure a second deal for Burke but according to The Mirror, five other teams are interested in strengthening their squads with the signing of the Englishman.

Derby County and Sheffield United are said to want Burke to help their bids to earn promotion to the Premier League, while Nottingham Forest, Barnsley and Sunderland are also allegedly monitoring the situation.

Burke has not made a first-team outing for West Ham since the second leg of their Europa League tie with Astra Giurgiu in August 2016.
