Bolton Wanderers have reportedly submitted a bid for Bristol Rovers' Aaron Collins, according to Bristol Live - but this has since been rejected by the Gas. The offer was believed to be in the region of £600,000, but Rovers will hold out until they receive a bid 'closer' to £1 million.

Collins has been one of Rovers' most important attacking players this season, having scored three goals and notching up nine assists in the league. Bolton want to bolster their promotion bid, as they currently sit 2nd in the division - meanwhile, Rovers are toiling in mid table, finding themselves in 11th place.

Wrexham 'prepare move' for Jack Marriott

Wrexham are looking for a another striker to partner star man Paul Mullin - and they've identified Fleetwood Town's Jack Marriott as a potential candidate, according to a report from Football Insider on X (formerly Twitter).

The Red Dragons aren't the only interested party - Stevenage and Oxford United have also been linked with a move for the former Peterborough United man, but it is unclear as to whether either of these two clubs have made an offer. As things stand, Marriott's status at Fleetwood is currently up in the air.
