Premier League clubs eye Bristol City's Jack Batten?

A host of Premier League clubs are reportedly interested in signing Bristol City defender Jack Batten.

The 17-year-old came through the youth ranks at Ashton Gate and was handed a three-year professional contract in March.

Everton are said to have held a long-term interest in the centre-back, while other Premier League sides are also weighing up moves for Batten, according to Sky Sports News.

Batten is yet to make a first-team appearance for the League One club.
