Wigan Athletic are thought to be back on the trail of Rossendale United hot shot Craig Sargeson.
The Rishton-born19-year-old has scored 29 goals this season as Dale have stormed to the top of NWCL Division One.
Sargeson had trials with the Second Division club last season and they are thought to have renewed their interest.
Rossendale manager Jim McCluskie said he wouldn't stand in the teenager's way. "A lot of my players are capable of playing at a higher level and I wouldn't want to stop them if that is what they wanted to do."
