Junior Hoilett Hoilett has scored three goals in 19 appearances this season
Blackburn Rovers manager Steve Kean says the club will have to consider any offers that come in for Canadian forward Junior Hoilett.
The 21-year-old is out of contract at the end of the season and is no closer to agreeing new terms.
Kean told BBC Radio Lancashire: "If there's a bid that comes in, then we'd have to consider that.
"No bids have come in but we haven't spoken to him about extending his contract," the Scot added.
Rovers have been in talks with Hoilett's representatives for more than six months but have been unable to reach a conclusion. Kean says that the club remain desperate for Hoilett to remain at Ewood Park, where has been since the age of 13.
He said: "We've continued to keep dialogue with Junior. What we have to do is continue to be open and honest with Junior and say 'we want you to stay'.
"We've always said from day one that we'd like to get it tied up. I think he's probably taken the opportunity to look elsewhere.
"I don't really know where he is on it but we're anxious to continue open conversation with him and if he decides to sign, great."

Rodgers hails 'peerless' Gerrard after late Fulham winner

Brendan Rodgers  has labelled  Steven Gerrard  as "peerless" after the midfielder's late penalty secured a 3-2 win for  Liverpool  over  Fulham . The Merseysiders twice fell behind at Craven Cottage on Wednesday as Kolo Toure sliced past his own goalkeeper before Kieran Richardson made the most of Martin Skrtel's deflection to score from close range. On both occasions, though, Liverpool pulled level. First, Gerrard's exquisite pass was received by Daniel Sturridge, who kept his cool with a neat finish, before Philippe Coutinho cut inside to strike home from 20 yards. It looked like Liverpool would be frustrated in their efforts to find a winner until Sturridge was chopped down by Sascha Riether in the last minute, and Gerrard held his nerve to convert the penalty. "Steven is peerless in many aspects of football," Rodgers said. "His performance again was [brilliant]. "His pass for the first goal, that penetration he has that he's sh...
