BBC Radio Lancashire's Scott Reid said "the ball is in Derby County's court" regarding a move for Blackburn captain Lewis Travis after a surprising admission from Rovers' boss Valerien Ismael.

This is after Ismael said after his side's Carabao Cup defeat by Bradford City that if the price is right then they would allow Travis to leave.

"He casually dropped it in the interview that his club captain wants to leave," Reid told BBC Radio Derby.

"It took us by surprise... It is a strange situation when a manager reveals this.

"I think Blackburn will sell if Derby offer what valuation they want."
