BLACKBURN Rovers are ready to listen to offers for controversial defender Andy Todd.

Graeme Souness has slapped the former Charlton and Bolton Wanderers centre-back on the transfer list.

And the Rovers boss today warned several more of Todd's team-mates could be following him out of the Ewood exit door this summer as part of a mini clear-out.

"Andy Todd is now available for transfer and he won't be alone in leaving this club," said Souness.

"He hasn't asked for a transfer, it's a decision I've made myself."

Todd, who was on loan at Burnley for a month last September, is thought to have paid the price for refusing to be a substitute in Rovers' recent game with Leeds United at Ewood.

Souness had dropped the 29-year-old from his starting line-up in favour of Lorenzo Amoruso and Craig Short -- a decision which infuriated Todd.

As a result, Todd then refused to take his place on the bench and he hasn't featured in any of Rovers' four games since.

The writing was on the wall last week when Amoruso and Short were both unfit to face Manchester United but instead of handing Todd a recall, Souness decided to call on Nissa Johansson and Markus Babbel.

Leicester City, Wigan Athletic and Burnley could be possible suitors for a player who would cost around £300,000.

One other player who could be following Todd out of the door is Dwight Yorke.

With Souness indicating he wants a new striker this summer, Yorke is the man most likely to make way.

The former Manchester United star has had several run-ins with the manager during the last 12 months and his absence from the squad in recent weeks is a further sign that he's now become surplus to requirements.
