Bradford City and Sunderland are both keen to take Sheffield United striker Billy Sharp on loan, but the Blades would need to strengthen up front before any such move would be considered.

Bolton will target Ipswich striker Joe Garner if top target Bradford City’s Charlie Wyke is ruled out for a lengthy spell by an unspecified injury.

Doncaster Rovers are aiming to strengthen their forward line before the start of the season.
