West Bromwich Albion striker Simon Cox finds himself in transfer limbo.

The Birmingham Mail says the Baggies and Rovers were due to shake hands on a structured deal worth a potential £2 million.

It involved three separate instalments of £500,000, with an extra £500,000 based on performance-related add-ons.

However, it has now emerged that while Steve Kean was determined to push the deal through, certain members of the club's hierarchy want to stop the deal, leaving Cox's future in limbo.
