Sheffield United, Leicester and Middlesbrough are eyeing moves for Luton Town attacker Millenic Alli, sources have told Football Insider.
Alli, 25, impressed for Luton at the back end of last season, scoring four goals in six starts for a struggling Hatters team.
The forward joined Luton in the January transfer window after supplying Exeter with 12 goals in the first half of the 2024-25 campaign.
The Irishman proved he could step up and score goals in the Championship with his move to Kenilworth Road, but Luton were relegated to League One last month.

Now Sheffield United, Leicester and Middlesbrough are weighing up moves for the powerful forward as they look to add to their attacking options ahead of the new season.
He has made just 16 appearances across all competitions for Luton but could get an instant return to the Championship before the 1 September deadline later this summer.

The Dublin-born ace cost Luton a fee widely reported to be around £1.5million in the January window.
He primarily plays as a centre-forward but can also star on both flanks.
Sheffield United, Leicester and Middlesbrough will all be hoping to be in the Premier League promotion mix next season after changes in the dugout at each club.
Ruben Selles has taken over at Bramall Lane, Boro have appointed Rob Edwards – and Leicester are still waiting to replace Ruud van Nistelrooy ahead of the players’ return for pre-season.

Meanwhile, Football Insider has revealed (14 June) that Leicester face a fight to keep hold of winger Stephy Mavididi this summer.
A move for Alli could come as the Foxes prepare to lose Mavididi – who spearheaded their last promotion campaign.
Atalanta, Bologna and Villarreal – as well as English clubs – are ready to move for the skilful attacker.
Mavididi contributed six goals and one assist across 33 appearances in all competitions last season.
