Bolton Wanderers and Blackburn Rovers are interested in signing Lens midfielder Samba Sow, according to a report.
Sow is hoping to secure a move to England over the summer after four years at the French club.
The Mali international came close to joining Nottingham Forest last season before a deal fell through, while Middlesbrough have also previously registered an interest in the 24-year-old.
However, according to Sky Sports News, the two Lancashire clubs are considered to be in pole position to sign Sow, with bids expected for the player in the next couple of weeks.
