Bolton Wanderers are facing a battle to keep Conor Bradley on loan from Liverpool.

The 19-year-old right-back is excelling with the Trotters since the start of this season.

However, the Reds do have the option to recall him at any time, despite the deal running to the end of the term.

Per the Lancashire Post, he has been so impressive that Preston North End and other teams are assessing his potential.

Given Wanderers are in League One, there is a possibility that Bradley is recalled and sent to a Championship club in January.

But Bolton boss Ian Evatt. While speaking to Bolton News, said: “Liverpool are able to do it [recall him] but all the conversations that we've had is Conor is here for the season. Obviously, because of how well he has done there are going to be other suitors. But all we can do is give him all the support on and off the pitch that we've given him. We've given him a great opportunity.

“He's repaid us with his performances. We like to think we've been and done very well for him as well, so hopefully the relationship continues but I don't think we're too worried about losing him in January."
