Rovers have second Pederson bid rejected

Blackburn have had another bid for Tromso winger Morten Gamst Pedersen rejected by the Norwegian club.

Rovers boss Graeme Souness revealed before the weekend he was still interested in acquiring the services of the 22-year-old.

But chief executive John Williams told the club’s official website, www.rovers.co.uk: “We have indeed had a second bid for Pedersen rejected, but that’s all I wish to say at this stage.”
