Rotherham United miss out on frontman
Alex Bruce is after a fourth attacking option
Rotherham United are renewing their striker search after losing out on one of the targets with five days of the transfer window remaining.
The League Two Millers were hoping to sign Kylian Kouassi who is surplus to requirements at League One Blackpool.
However, it now looks like their fourth-tier rivals, Colchester United, will be the 23-year-old's next club.
Rotherham boss Alex Bruce wants to strengthen his frontline by adding a fourth man to go with Paul Mullin, Tom Bradshaw and Fabio Tavares.
The Millers have other targets in mind and Sheffield United's Louis Marsh is was one of the players the head coach watched in Carabao Cup action at Blackburn Rovers on Tuesday.
Kouassi was already known to Bruce from the time he spent coaching at Salford City. The attacker was on loan there in 2024/25, scoring three times in 31 outings before bagging five goals in 19 matches during a temporary League Two spell at Cambridge United last term.
The Millers are seeking to make two more additions to their squad before next Tuesday's 11pm deadline.
