West Ham United are set to make a £4m bid for Blackburn Rovers defender Martin Olsson.
The Hammers boss Sam Allardyce has admitted he is keen to strengthen his defence to cover for injuries and is keen on the Sweden international.
Olsson is understood to be desperate for a return to the Premier League with Blackburn looking a long way off an immediate return to the top flight.
