According to the Daily Mail, West Bromwich Albion’s trade offer for Burnley striker Sam Vokes has been instantly rejected.

Burnley have been keen to bring Rodriguez back to Turf Moor all summer, but have failed to get a deal over the line, wit West Brom demanding big money for the forward.

The Baggies want £18 million for Rodriguez, which puts him out of Burnley’s price range.

However, West Brom found a way to meet a compromise, as Darren Moore’s side would like Vokes.

The Baggies came up with a swap deal, which would have meant Burnley paying £10 million and Vokes to sign Rodriguez, but Sean Dyche’s side were not keen.
