Valencia winger Vicente Rodriguez is understood to be a potential target for Blackburn Rovers after admitting he expected to join a Premier League club this summer.

Rovers were believed to have been interested in the 29-year-old in the January transfer window and sources close to the player claim they are now ready to make a more concrete move for him.

Vicente is now a free agent after struggling with a series of injuries over the last couple of years and several other Premier League clubs are also believed to be monitoring the Spaniard.
