Blackburn Rovers have entered contract talks with Andranik Teymourian.
The Lancashire Telegraph says the former Bolton and Fulham player opted out of travelling to Australia with Rovers as a trialist, but Sam Allardyce is still keen to give him the opportunity to revive his Premier League career.
Teymourian is understood to have undergone medical tests and, while the results are being waited for, negotiations continue over a potential deal.
