Blackburn hope to conclude deal for Sporting forward
Blackburn Rovers are closing in on the signing of Sporting Lisbon forward Simon Vukcevic.
Rovers have confirmed to Sky Sports News that the Montenegro forward, who can also play in midfield, was undergoing a medical at Ewood Park.
The 25-year-old has long been linked with a switch to England and he finally looks set to get his move to the Premier League.
It is reported a fee of £2million has been agreed with Sporting for Vukcevic, who could pen a deal in the next 24 hours.
Rovers boss Steve Kean confirmed to the Lancashire Telegraph he was hoping to conclude three deals.
Kean said: "Things have moved on. We have had bids accepted and we are close to three players now."
