Blackburn chairman John Williams says talks with veteran striker Robbie Fowler over a possible move to Ewood Park are 'ongoing'.
Fowler has been linked with a move to Rovers all summer after linking up with the club on trial.
Rovers boss Paul Ince is keen to have his former Liverpool team-mate on board, but talks are believed to have stalled over the terms of his contract.
Fowler is able to join Rovers outside the transfer window as he is a free agent after leaving Cardiff and Williams remains confident a deal will be struck.
"He can be signed outside the window and it's something we are looking at," Williams told the Lancashire Evening Telepgraph. "We are edging to a solution, it's just finding the correct deal, but discussions are ongoing."
Williams also revealed they are looking at other targets ahead of the January transfer window.
"We are looking at a number of players," added Williams. "We start the process now ready for January, but there is nothing imminent."

"A completely pointless signing!
Incey i can understand Andrews (just!) and his signing, but signing Fowler makes no sense! You offered him a lifeline in the Premier League with the pay-as-you-play offer. He got gready! It makes no sense offering him a deal now!"

"I fail to see what Robbie Fowler can offer us on the field. He was a non-entity during his last stint at Liverpool....a club he desperately wanted to play for! "

"Things are not looking good this season so far. lucky win at everton...extremely poor against both hull and west ham. Bentley hasnt been replaced with anyone... rumours of disharmony and ince begins using excuses such as players are tired (only 3 games into the season). Finally to cap it all off with the money from Bentley he has bought lower league nobodys who just like him lack experience at the top level. Mark my words he will be gone by christmas."
