Rovers boss Graeme Souness has confirmed that he enquired as to the availability of the former Everton striker, but like Blues, he has been frightened off by Arsenals asking price and the players potential salary demands.

"I have inquired about Francis Jeffers, but the asking price has frightened us off," said the Rovers boss.

Blues have been linked with Jeffers all summer but as with Rovers they too cooled their interest when learning of the fee Arsenal are asking for the player.
