The Cowboys are thinking of selling off popular hooker Jake Granville to boost their kitty to sign the most sought after player in the game - Latrell Mitchell.

Granville was one of the heroes of the Cowboys' 2015 Grand Final win but the club has signed promising hooker Reece Robson from the Dragons for 2020.

Cowboys officials believe that pairing Mitchell and new signing Valentine Holmes will give them the hottest backline in the game next season, and a real crack at the title.

Granville, who turned 30 early this year, has been offered to several English clubs while Manly, short on hooking experience, may also be keen on his services.

The Cowboys are trying to keep the negotiations quiet - but two English clubs have confirmed that Granville has been put to them.

Mitchell, meanwhile, is reportedly still on the radar of the Tigers, Rabbitohs, Titans and Cowboys.
