Blackburn Rovers are believed to have made an improved offer for Sheffield Wednesday striker, Bailey Cadamarteri.

It was reported earlier today that the Owls had rejected an offer of around £750,000 for the 20-year-old Owls forward from Rovers, but the latest information reaching The Star is that the Lancashire club weren’t the only ones to have an offer turned down. Cadamarteri has been a regular this season under Henrik Pedersen.

This publication has previously revealed that a number of clubs were keen to try and sign the Jamaican international, and it’s believed that three others - Preston North End, Luton Town and Millwall - have seen their approaches rebuffed.

On the back of that, it’s understood that Blackburn have kept themselves in the race by upping their offer to around £800,000, though other English Football League outfits are expected to follow suit.

Wednesday have already lost Yisa Alao and Barry Bannan this week, with the club’s legendary captain moving south to join one of Cadamarteri’s potential suitors, the Lions, and there is also interest in players such as Svante Ingelsson and Yan Valery.

At the time of writing, the fresh Rovers bid has not yet received a response from those in charge of player sales at Hillsborough currently, and it remains to be seen what it would take right now to tempt Wednesday into selling the academy graduate.

Just a few days remain of the current transfer window before it slams shut on February 2nd, and Pedersen will be hoping that his already depleted squad doesn’t lose even more bodies before that deadline comes to pass.
