Kevin Nolan has played down suggestions that Notts County are to make a move for Dover Athletic striker Ricky Miller, claiming that he costs a lot of money and could invest his budget more wisely.
The 28-year-old has scored 37 goals this season to top the National League goalscoring charts and was also named the division's player of the year.
Notts were quoted with an interest in the player both in January and heading into the summer, but Nolan says he could get "a lot of good players" with the money quoted for Miller.
"We have a long list of players who we are looking at and who we are considering," Nolan told the Nottingham Post.
"I have a meeting with Alan (Hardy, Magpies owner) this week about the budget and Ricky Miller is going to cost a lot of money.
"We were quoted a lot in January when we enquired about him, as we did with many others.
"But whatever budget Alan decides to give me, we have to get the best out of it. For the money you would pay for Ricky Miller you could get a lot of good players."
Nolan also hinted that he would be looking to the Premier League again for loan signings after Marc Bola, Josh Clackstone and Tahvon Campbell contributed to the Magpies' 2017 revival.
He said: "All of the loan signings we have brought in have been a success in their own way, not just for the impact on the field but in the dressing room or training pitch.
"We will definitely look to bring in players on loan and use that system because I think it's a great system.
"And I think a lot of Premier League clubs will look at us and be happy to send their players here because they know they will get a chance."
