Bradford City and Bolton Wanderers 'monitoring' 21-goal Exeter City sensation Jayden Wareham
Bradford City and Bolton Wanderers are reportedly monitoring Exeter City marksman Jayden Wareham.
The 22-year-old has been among the most dangerous attacking outlets in League One this season, registering 18 goals for the Grecians.
Across all competitions, the forward has weighed in with 21 goals in 49 outings.
While his exploits have not managed to fire Exeter clear of the League One relegation zone, they do appear to have attracted interest.

Bradford City linked with Exeter City star
According to Football League World, Wareham is being monitored by Bradford and Bolton with the summer transfer window approaching.
Both the Bantams and the Trotters are currently challenging for promotion from the third tier, sitting third and fourth respectively.
It has been suggested Wareham is also of interest to clubs in the bottom half of the Championship, meaning Bradford and Bolton could require promotion to stand a chance of securing his signature.
Jayden Wareham’s career journey
The frontman cut his teeth in the academies of Reading and Queens Park Rangers before being given his break in senior football by non-league outfit Woking.
Chelsea handed him a trial in 2021 and after impressing at youth level for the Blues, Wareham penned a two-year deal.
He left upon the expiry of his contract and returned to Reading, for whom he scored eight goals in 55 appearances.
Exeter swooped to secure Wareham’s services for an undisclosed fee last summer and have helped him ascend to new heights.
Bradford City’s attack
Bradford have defied expectations in League One this season and have done so without directly replacing the goals Andy Cook supplied.
Attacking midfielders Antoni Sarcevic and Bobby Pointon are the club’s top league scorers with 10 each, with none of Graham Alexander’s natural forwards having hit double figures.
Stephen Humphrys has weighed in with nine, Will Swan has seven to his name and Kayden Jackson has registered one. Ethan Wheatley, who was signed on loan from Manchester United in the winter window, is yet to open his Bantams account.
