BRIGHTON boss Chris Hughton has made a shock £2million bid for Blackburn Rovers defender Shane Duffy.

Hughton fancies Ireland’s Euro 2016 ace, 26, while there is rival interest from Wolves and Celtic.

Rovers boss Owen Coyle is keen to hang on to Duffy.

He said: “All we can do is enter into that dialogue, present something to the players and their representatives, and see where we go from there.

“Decisions will have to be made at some point and then we’ll take it from there.

“In regards to Shane, there’s been no concrete offers from Celtic, in terms of a written offer, so that’s the only thing I can class as interest.

“If there’s other people speculating, then I can’t really comment on that.”
