Skysports.com understands a number of Championship clubs are chasing Rotherham hot-shot Adam Le Fondre.

Le Fondre has found himself one of the most sought-after players in the lower leagues following his goalscoring exploits over the last few seasons.

The prolific forward scored 30 goals in all competitions for the Millers last season, helping them to the League Two play-off final where they narrowly missed out on promotion to Dagenham & Redbridge.

With Gary Hooper's impending move from Scunthorpe to Celtic close to being complete, a number of his suitors are thought to be eyeing Le Fondre as a possible alternative.

The likes of Derby and Leicester are both thought to be keeping tabs on Le Fondre as they look to bolster their attacking options this summer and a host of other sides are also believed to be tracking the former Rochdale hit-man.

Rotherham are loath to lose Le Fondre with the South Yorkshire club demanding a sizeable fee to consider cashing in on their prize asset.
