BLACKBURN manager Jon Dahl Tomasson will try to talk Anel Ahmedhodzic into joining him in a £3million swoop.
Tomasson worked with the Bosnian centre-half at Malmo and hopes that counts as he fights with Sheffield United for his signature.
Ahmedhodzic is due to tell the Swedish club he wants to go this week and could be cleared to head for England.
Tomasson also has the backing of owners Venky’s to finance the deal.
But the Blue and Whites are far from completing a deal with Sheffield United also set to make a £3m bid for the young star.
The Blades are set to bring in a number of new additions in a bid topush for promotion again.
