Swansea launch big cash bid for Blackburn striker Rhodes

Swansea City have made a move for Blackburn Rovers striker Jordan Rhodes.

The Daily Mail says Swansea are flush with cash from the sale of Wilfried Bony to Manchester City and are braced for the departure of Bafetimbi Gomis.

They have considered Newcastle's Papiss Cisse but have now made an approach over Scotland international Rhodes.

Hull City failed in an effort to prise the 24-year-old from Ewood Park last summer despite offering £11million and Blackburn won't sell for less this time.
