BARNSLEY could look to Scotland to fill their vacancy for a striker.
The Oakwell club have been linked with Livingston's want-away hit-man Robert Snodgrass.
The 20-year-old, who was offered a trial by Barcelona earlier in his career, has rejected a new three-year contract at Livingston and is set to leave the Scottish First Division outfit.
Snodgrass was a target for Premier League new boys West Brom, but their interest has cooled and it is reported that Barnsley, Hartlepool and Crewe could be in for him.
Scottish clubs Dundee, Hamilton and Kilmarnock have also made offers but the Scottish Under 21 international suggests he wants to try his luck South of the Border.
QPR, Barnsley's opponents on day one of the new season, are chasing Crystal Palcer midfielder Ben Watson.
QPR manager Iain Dowie is at the head of the queue for the 22-year-old, who has rejected a lucrative new contract at Selhurst Park .
Reading have also long been linked with Watson, who has a year left on his current deal, and the interest of other clubs could spark a bidding war for the former England Under-21 international.
Eagles boss Neil Warnock told the Croydon Advertiser: "Ben has rejected our contract offer which would have made him the highest-paid player at the club and his agent is hinting to me that he might want to try something new.
"QPR are leading the race, but two or three clubs have made firm enquiries about him."
