Former Everton and Manchester City midfielder Jack Rodwell is a target for Serie A clubs.

Rodwell, 28, joined Blackburn on a one-year deal after quitting Sunderland last year and will be available on a free.

His form in the second half of the season — dropping back into the centre of defence — has caught the eye of Torino's boss, former Watford chief Walter Mazzarri. Sassuolo are also interested.

But Ewood boss Tony Mowbray told the Lancashire Telegraph: "I'm pretty relaxed about Jack's situation and I think he and his agents are.

"We've got two games to go and then we'll sit down, see what we want to do and he wants to do.

"We'll see if he fits around where we might be signing players."
