Blackburn Rovers lead Jordan Rhodes race?

Blackburn Rovers are reportedly leading the race to sign Huddersfield Town forward Jordan Rhodes.

The 22-year-old, who scored 40 goals in 46 games last season, is under contract at the Galpharm Stadium until June 2015.

Blackburn and Fulham are both willing to bid £6m for Rhodes, however the Lancashire club's proposed offer includes more money up front, according to The Mirror.

Rhodes is believed to be keen on joining a Premier League club this summer.
