Blackpool defender Alex Baptiste is being tracked by Nottingham Forest and Sheffield Wednesday, skysports.com understands.

The 23-year-old has impressed at the heart of the Seasiders' defence this season, recently winning the fans' player of the year award.

Championship rivals Forest and Wednesday are now thought to be monitoring Baptiste's situation as they look to bolster their squads for next season.

Blackpool would be loath to sell the highly-rated stopper as he has established himself as a key member of the squad at Bloomfield Road.

Baptiste joined Blackpool from Mansfield Town in July 2008 after making 200 appearances for the Nottinghamshire club.
