Aston Villa are in talks with Blackburn regarding a deal for striker Rudy Gestede, Press Association Sport reports.
Gestede, 26, has been linked with a move to Villa Park and negotiations are ongoing between the two clubs.
The forward scored 22 goals for Rovers last season as they finished ninth in the Championship, and has netted 34 times in 65 games for the club.
Crystal Palace were interested in Gestede in January and he has been continuously linked with a move away from Ewood Park this summer.
Watford, Norwich and West Brom have been linked to the Benin international, who has been at Blackburn since signing permanently from Cardiff, after a loan spell, in 2014.
Villa boss Tim Sherwood is searching for more firepower after the £32.5 million sale of Christian Benteke to Liverpool.
Sources told ESPN FC on Tuesday that Tottenham striker Emmanuel Adebayor is set to join Villa after undergoing a medical at the club's training ground.
Adebayor was given a guided tour of Villa's Bodymoor Heath training ground while talks continued on Wednesday.
Nantes midfielder Jordan Veretout could also be a Villa player by the end of the week with the club holding talks with the 22-year-old.
Sherwood has already signed seven players this summer and is prepared to let several squad members go, with left-back Aly Cissokho told he can leave.
