WEST Bromwich Albion are the latest club to register an interest in Rovers defender Andy Todd.

Hawthorns boss Tony Mowbray is keen to add the experienced stopper to his Championship squad because he is posied to lose Paul McShane and Paul Robinson to Sunderland.

But the Albion chief faces competition for Todd's signature, with Rangers, Wigan Athletic, Derby County and Coventry also thought to be interested in the player.

Todd's agent, Peter Harrison, said: "West Brom have shown an interest in Andy and we've had initial talks but that's as far as it's gone.

"He's got one year left on his contract but he wants to leave (Blackburn) so we'll have to wait and see what happens.

"We are in discussions to try and get Andy a move.

"West Brom are one of the clubs interested, along with Derby."

Harrison met with Rovers officials on Monday to discuss the options open to Todd, and the Lancashire Telegraph can confirm that the club did receive a verbal bid for the player which was deemed unacceptable.

However, further developments are expected in the next few days, with Rovers willing to let the player go for a fee in the region of £800,000.
