Bolton goalkeeper Ali Al-Habsi is wanted by Lancashire rivals Blackburn Rovers, it has emerged today. 

Al Habsi is currently second choice at the Reebok, behind Jussi Jasskelainen, and has been linked with a move away from Gary Megson’s side over the summer. 

And it now appears Mark Hughes is keen on the Omani stopper, according to the player’s agent. 

Peter Harrison told Sky Sports News: “I understand an offer has been made, but neither club has as yet confirmed that or spoken with me,” 

“It is now up to Bolton, but we would hope that they would allow Ali the chance to move on.” 

Hughes has already brought in former Tottenham stopper Paul Robinson in the close reason, but wants Al-Habsi to compete for the Rovers number-one jersey with the former England man. 

The 26-year-old has impressed during his time at Bolton, making 16 first team appearances since his arrival in 2006.
