Blackburn Rovers are launching a £5 million bid for Lech Poznan striker Robert Lewandowski.

The Mirror says Rovers boss Sam Allardyce wants the Lech Poznan striker after checking on him recently and talks are at 'an advanced stage' as Rovers try to beat off German giants Borussia Dortmund for his signature.

Lewandowski is in Poland's national side and has been scoring regularly.

He ticks all of the right boxes with Allardyce who wants a couple of new forwards for next season.
