Larsson bid made by Rovers

The Sebastian Larsson chase has reached boiling point with Rovers making a bid for his services this morning.

The Swede is out of contract in the summer and is looking to move on to pastures new after a good spell at St Andrews.

The bid is believed to be in the region of £500,000 which would represent something of a bargain.

Newcastle have already tried and failed to capture the man with a sweet free kick and Rovers have stepped in to battle Villa for his signature and the fact he is on the books with the dreaded Kentaro means we should be favourites.
