The giant targetman, who scored six goals in his first seven games for the National League North side this season, is a player Martin Allen worked with previously.

It was Allen who gave the 6ft 6ins frontman his Football League debut, during a loan spell at Cheltenham.

Denton, who won promotion to the National League with Halifax and lifted the FA Trophy at Wembley with North Ferriby United, is currently a part-time player with the Reds.

According to Derbyshire Times sources, the Spireites are very keen to land the 29-year-old and have made at least one ‘significant’ bid.

Allen’s side have failed to score in their last five outings, but did stop their losing streak with a 0-0 draw at home to Dover on Saturday.
