The Football League trio have all been alerted to the form of the non-league ace. He has scored 20 goals in all competitions for the Northern Premier League side so far this season.
Cursons, 23, is out of contract in the summer and is due to become available when this campaign ends. His current club are set to face a battle to keep hold of him in the meantime though.
In this update regarding his future this winter, Football Insider claim Derby County, Bolton Wanderers and Barnsley are all keen on luring him up the football pyramid.
Peterborough United have also been credited with an interest.
The Rams play their football in the Championship following their promotion last year, whilst the Trotters, the Tykes and the Posh all remain in League One.
Ilkeston Town signed Cursons during the 2023/24 season and he ended up scoring 12 goals in 18 games.
He has since carried on his impressive return in this campaign.
According to the NPL website, the attacker stated in November of last year: “Ilkeston is aware that I want to play football full-time.” Although I’m still in the age range where it’s possible, I need to make sure that this is the best course of action for me at this point in my career.
“I don’t want to go somewhere and impede my progress by sitting on the bench for a year.” I am aware that I cannot simply accept a full-time contract when it is presented to me.
“It’s really strange because you want to play full-time, but when the chips fall, you always have to ask yourself if it’s the right thing to do at that moment.”
As with any player making such a big step up, patience would need to be required with Cursons if he were to move on in the near future.
Derby County have the chance to bring in reinforcements as they look to solidify their place in the second tier under Paul Warne.
Bolton Wanderers, Barnsley and Peterborough United would be able to offer Cursons more game time over the Rams though due to the fact they play in the league below. The latter are no strangers to snapping up talent from the lower leagues.
