As Rotherham United appear to be leading the race for Walsall striker Tom Bradshaw, Barnsley boss Paul Heckingbottom has spoken to the press and refused to rule out making another bid for the Welsh International, as speculation continues to grow.
Heckingbottom, who has been on Tom's trail for several months, went on to insist that the former Shrewsbury Town forward is keen to move away from the Banks's Stadium, said; "We had an offer knocked back for Tom. He is someone we know was excellent at League One level and has a really good goal record. He himself is probably looking for a step-up. Be he is under contract with Walsall and until somebody gets a bid accepted it’s difficult to do anything.
"We have not, as yet, gone back in with a second offer. It is ongoing. It’s case of needing to know what the asking price is. Otherwise you keep making offers, making offers and getting knocked back.
"But there has not been much dialogue between to the clubs. Deals can happen in an instant or deals can go on and on and on. My preference though is to get players in as soon as possible."
