Man Utd, Liverpool watching Fleetwood defender Hill as chairman confirms scout frenzy

Fleetwood Town defender James Hill is attracting big Premier League interest.

The Daily Record says Rangers, Burnley and Southampton all had bids reject for the Hill this summer, and that Everton, Manchester United and Liverpool have scouted him this season.

Hill's current deal expires next summer and the Cod Army are keen to sell him for good money for further investment in their club as they try to win promotion to the Championship.

Fleetwood owner Andy Pilley said: “We know he's destined for the very top. He's playing regularly in the first team and we believe this helps to getting his dream move.

“He's out of contract this summer, but we're relaxed about his position because we're entitled to compensation which will no doubt be significant.

“We're at a stage now where we're literally having to decline scouting requests because we've virtually got the entire Premier League coming along to watch him."
