Championship side Bolton are keen on taking West Ham's young striker Elliot Lee on loan.
19-year-old Lee has barely featured for Sam Allardyce's first team despite having been prolific at times for the Under 21s. With the likes of Enner Valencia, Mauro Zarate and Diafra Sakho having joined the club this summer, his chances of doing so have become even slimmer.That has led Dougie Freedman's Championship strugglers, who currently sit one place off the bottom of the league having accrued just one win in their opening ten games, to make enquiries into his availability.
Should Lee join Bolton on loan it would be his second spell away from West Ham, having spent a month on loan with Colchester United last season. His brief stay at the League One club saw him feature on four occasions, scoring once in a 2-2 draw at Rotherham.
Most recently he scored both goals in a 2-0 win for the Development squad against Sunderland at the Boleyn Ground on Monday evening.
