The Gold Coast Suns are latest club to show interest in young Tiger Callum Coleman-Jones, per AFL.com.au's Callum Twomey.
The 21-year-old booted five goals in the VFL last weekend, adding to his solid start to the season in Richmond's twos.
Coleman-Jones has showed his versatility playing key position in the VFL, but he is expected to be a capable ruckman at AFL level.

Since being drafted at pick 20 in 2017, Coleman-Jones has only managed one AFL game and has struggled to crack into the triple-premiership line-up.
Despite not yet indicating a desire to leave Tigerland, many teams are showing strong interest for youngster, including GWS, with few key position prospects available in this year's draft.
Gold Coast have struggled immensely in the ruck after losing Jarrod Witts to an ACL in Round 3, ranking last in the comp for hitouts this season.
The club will be desperate to add ruck depth, with the mid-season draft presenting another avenue for aerial relief.

The two-metre South Australian proposes an intriguing option for the Suns, who would offer the Tiger increased responsibility and playing time in their midfield.
Gold Coast have also been linked to young Essendon ruckman Nick Bryan.
Despite Coleman-Jones being embroiled in a controversial breach of Covid-19 protocol last season, Damien Hardwick admitted last week that the talented youngster was deserving of more playing time.
With talls such a precious commodity, Richmond will have to fight off rivals to keep Coleman-Jones at the club this off-season.
