Blackburn Rovers are interested in signing Callum McManaman from West Bromwich Albion before the end of the summer transfer window, according to The Sun (print edition, page 73, Friday, August 26, 2016).

It has been reported by the British tabloid that Championship rivals Queens Park Rangers and Sheffield Wednesday are also eyeing a move for the 25-year-old winger.

According to the report, West Brom want to recoup most of the £4.75 million they paid Wigan Athletic to sign McManaman in January 2015.

The Sun (print edition, page 73, Friday, August 26, 2016) claims that the price-tag could see the former England Under-20 international leave The Hawthorns on loan.

McManaman played in 12 Premier League matches for West Brom during the 2015-16 campaign, creating eight chances in the process.

The winger has yet to feature for the Baggies in the Premier League this season.
