With a lot of the attention currently provided to Bolton's Jermaine Beckford bid, it's easy to forget that you have other irons in that fire for Dougie Freedman along with the Trotters.

The 27-year-old may be at Blackpool since 2008 and possesses made 187 appearances for ones Tangerines in all competitive events. Baptiste, a right-footed defensive player, could be a versatile option within the back for Bolton together with his ability to play both down the middle of defense as well for the reason that out the wings.

Baptiste is out of contract afterwards of June and progress a free transfer. The Tangerines formerly released 13 players this season while contract talks while using defender are still continuous. Bolton are far through the only interested party. Derby County manager Nigel Clough chatted highly of Baptiste inside the Derby Telegraph:

"There are very number of good defenders out of contract at the moment and so there will be a lot of interest inside him, so some extreme competition.

"We will wait on him but not too long because we'll need to be familiar with reasonably quickly. If we cannot get him, we will go forward. "
