Fridel set to leave Blackburn

Blackburn Rovers have accepted a £2 million offer from an undisclosed club for want-away goalkeeper Brad Fridel, according to The Telegraph. The same report states that the club who had the offer accepted is Aston Villa.

Martin O’Neill has lost both first-team goalkeepers this summer after Thomas Soerensen was allowed to leave and Scott Carson’s loan contract ended. Now he looks set to recuperate by signing the 37 year-old American goalkeeper.

O’Neill has already agreed a deal to bring in a younger American goalkeeper, Brad Guzan, this summer. However, the former Chivas USA goalkeeper is awaiting a work permit before finalizing a move, according to The Telegraph.
