Southampton, Reading target Scott Dann?

Southampton and Reading will reportedly battle for the services of Blackburn Rovers defender Scott Dann.

The 25-year-old is expected to depart Rovers following their relegation from the Premier League last season, with a host of sides credited with an interest.

However, the two clubs who secured automatic promotion from the Championship last season lead the race, according to The Sun.

Dann appeared 28 times for Rovers last season.
