Crewe are reported to be leading the pack for Bulls winger Sam Clucas.
The local radio in Staffordshire has named Clucas as a target for manager Steve Davis, with departed Aldershot striker Danny Hylton and Lincoln targetman Vadaine Oliver also on their hitlist.
While the club have acknowledged a move for Hylton, who was released by the Shots following their relegation, they have refused to comment on speculation surrounding either Clucas or Oliver - both of whom would be subject to compensation payments.
