Cheltenham Town have increased their offer for highly-rated Forest Green Rovers striker Stuart Fleetwood. The Robins made an offer of �100,000 for the 21-year-old in November but it was turned down.
Cheltenham chairman Paul Baker told BBC Radio Gloucestershire: "We made an improved six-figure offer but we've put a seven-day notice on it.
"If the player is not going to come or the club's not interested in selling then we have to move on," he added.
There is a lot of interest in Fleetwood, who has netted 30 goals in all competitions this season, from a number of clubs, with Gillingham the latest to table an offer in excess of �100,000.

But Cheltenham manager Keith Downing is keen that the club do not get caught up in a bidding war.
"What's important is that we don't get involved in an auction," he said.
"I sat there (at Forest Green Rovers' recent match at Kidderminster) with about eight other scouts and, no disrespect to Cheltenham, some of them were from much bigger clubs.
"So we have to be careful but we are interested in him. He's been terrific for Forest Green Rovers and he's a local lad so it would be silly not to be interested in him."
