WOLVES boss Paul Lambert is ready to clinch a £1.85 million deal with old club Blackburn for right-back Ben Marshall.

Lambert sorted out the figures after weeks of haggling with Rovers owners Venky's for the contract rebel.

Marshall is a free agent in the summer but Lambert wants him now and Blackburn chief Owen Coyle needs the sale to sign new players.

Coyle is set to bring in Giles Barnes from Vancouver Whitecaps as his replacement. The pair worked together at Houston Dynamo.

Barnes is due to arrive with his club for a training camp in Wales but will divert to Lancashire.

And Coyle will also fly in Lens giant centre half Abdoul Ba to join too.

Mauritania international Ba will sign for nothing but with the French club getting a cut of any future sale.
