Spireites sources have confirmed to HITC Sport that a number of clubs are now battling to try and land the American-born wide-man.
Ariyibi has been very impressive for the League One side since joining from Leeds United in 2014.
Reading and Rotherham United have already tried and failed with approaches, and they are both still actively trying to land the player.
