Blackburn Rovers are reportedly close to completing a move for West Bromwich Albion striker Simon Cox.
The 25-year-old started just seven league games for the Baggies last season, and he has been linked with a host of Championship clubs.
According to the Daily Mail, Rovers boss Steve Kean has prepared a £2.5m bid for the Irishman and a deal could be completed this week.
Cox has scored 10 Premier League goals for West Brom.
