Blackburn talks for Dundee Utd's Goodwillie back-on

Dundee United and Blackburn have agreed a fee for striker David Goodwillie, revealed United boss Peter Houston. Rangers have also made a fresh offer for the 22-year-old after having earlier bids rejected, but they have not matched the package on the table from the Premier League outfit.

Houston told BBC Radio Scotland's Sportsound programme: "It's no secret Blackburn are interested in him. The clubs have agreed a fee.

"David Goodwillie is likely to go if he can agree terms."

The fee is reported to be £2million up front and another £800,000 of potential add-ons, with a sell-on clause included.

Houston added: "The chairman is happy with the offer Blackburn have made.

"I think Rangers have made an improved offer but he hasn't said to me whether he's happy with that or not.

"It's between the two clubs just now but certainly the only club that has spoken to David is Blackburn Rovers, and David's advisers haven't agreed a fee yet.

"I don't know what the Rangers offer is. I have heard it's very similar but only the add-ons from Blackburn are better, that's all I know."

Goodwillie scored 19 goals for United last season and made his Scotland debut in a friendly win over the Faroe Islands in November.
