Sheffield United bid for the Fleetwood Town striker back in August.

Fleetwood Town manager Uwe Rosler looks on during the Sky Bet League One match between Northampton Town and Fleetwood Town at Sixfields on August 12, 2017 in Northampton, England.

Fleetwood Town’s manager, Uwe Rosler, believes Devante Cole is ‘definitely on the radar of some clubs’ amid fresh Sheffield United speculation.

United’s deadline day move for Cole, the details of which were made public via a Bleacher Report documentary, fell through at the last minute.

But with 11 goals in 28 games this season, it is unlikely the Blades’ interest will have faded.

Indeed, the Sun reported earlier month that Sheffield United and Millwall were both keen on a January move for Cole, only for the London side to deny any interest.

But discussing potential interest in the 22-year-old, who is the son of former Manchester United and England striker Andrew Cole, Rosler told the Blackpool Gazette: “I think clubs are always looking out for strikers, and for players who are in form and scoring goals.

“Devante Cole is definitely one of them. He is one of the top scorers in League One, so naturally he will have interest, especially as everyone knows what happened in August (with Sheffield United’s bid).

“But I am the head coach and I am concentrating on the next game. Devante will be involved in the game and anything else is out of my control. I can only worry about things I can control.

“He’s scoring goals and is definitely on the radar for some clubs in my opinion.

“We have not got a bid in for him at this moment in time.”

Despite their failure to sign Cole in August, Sheffield United have not struggled for goals this season, with Blades striker Leon Clarke currently leading the Championship’s top scorers’ chart.

Partner-in-crime Billy Sharp is on eight himself, while Clayton Donaldson has found the net four times in five starts since his own deadline day move to Bramall Lane.
