Blackburn Rovers remain hopeful of adding Argentine striker Hugo Pavone to their squad, although club sources have said it is still far from a done deal.

Pavone, who has bought himself out of his Real Betis contract, is understood to have undergone a medical at Brockhall but other clubs remain interested in the player.

Negotiations with him will continue over the next few days as they look to bolster their attacking options ahead of the new Premier League season.
