Crewe Alexandra boss Steve Davis has revealed that he is interested in signing Aldershot Town striker Danny Hylton.

The 24-year-old, who scored 12 goals for his club last season, will be a free agent when his contract expires at the end of next month.

"Danny is a player we have looked at. He has been linked with other clubs as well so we know we face competition," Davis told the club's official website.

"He would be a great asset because he has a lot of strengths and we believe he would improve if he did come here. Crewe is a coaching club and players do improve here, as the ones we signed last season have shown."

A number of Football League clubs are also reportedly monitoring developments.
