Holland says Crewe need to strengthen their strike force (Getty).

Crewe first-team coach Steve Holland says he has identified a striker as his number one summer transfer target.

"We have made an inquiry for a player that would involve a transfer fee," he told BBC Radio Stoke.

"John Bowler (Crewe chairman) is currently discussing that situation with the chairman of the other club so we will know in the next few days."

Holland would not be drawn on the identity of the player, but confirmed he was not from the Premier League.
