Sheffield United have been linked with two former targets in Peterborough United star Ricky-Jade Jones and Southampton forward Ben Brereton Diaz.
The Blades were heavily linked with Jones over the summer, while Newcastle United were also credited with interest.
A move to Bramall Lane did not materialise and he remained with Posh, who have benefited from his 10 goals this season.
According to The Sun, Sheffield United could join the bidding for Jones when the January transfer window swings open.

"A club agreed to buy him in the summer, but their takeover didn’t go through on time and now his price has gone up. Ricky could go for even more than Kwame [Poku] as he’s been with us since he was seven.”
The Championship high-fliers are also thought to be interested in Brereton Diaz, who ended the 2023/24 season on loan at Bramall Lane from Villareal.
He completed a permanent move to Southampton in the summer but has been unable to replicate his Sheffield United form at St Mary’s.
The Saints sit rock-bottom of the Premier League and recently axed Russell Martin as manager, which could throw a spanner in the works of a potential reunion in South Yorkshire.
The 27-year-old has been a bit-part player this season and is familiar with South Yorkshire, having started his senior career at Barnsley.
