Report: Jordan Rhodes keen on Middlesbrough switch as club eye new offer

Blackburn Rovers are expecting an improved offer of around £14m from Middlesbrough for striker Jordan Rhodes, according to reports.

The 25-year-old netted 21 times last season and has become a consistent goalscorer for the club in his three years in the North West.

Middlesbrough have already had an offer of £12m reportedly rejected, but the Daily Mail claims that a better offer will be submitted.

The paper says that Rhodes, who is also a target for Premier League side Sunderland, is keen to speak to Boro about a move.

He has scored 74 goals for Rovers since moving from Huddersfield Town.
