Wolfsburg fullback Marcel Schafer is being tracked by Blackburn Rovers.

The Mirror says Rovers boss Paul Ince is stepping up his chase for German international Schafer, who is Stephen Warnock's most likely replacement.

Schafer, who made his Germany debut as a sub in the defeat to England last month, is rated at around £4m and he would only be on his way to Rovers if they do a deal for Warnock.
