Gillingham striker Tommy Johnson has been linked with a return to Notts County.
The Second Division side are said to be in talks with a forward from a higher division and Johnson, a County legend, is reportedly the target.
Gillingham first-team coach Wayne Jones admitted a deal could be in the pipeline, saying: "Tommy is a north-east lad, but he has property in Nottingham and would like to return there.
"Whether that will happen sooner or later I don't know," he told the Nottingham Evening Post.
"If he keeps scoring goals like he did at Derby last weekend, we would not want him to go but we have to think of the player too. He's 33 and maybe Notts will offer him his last contract."
