Blackburn Rovers are reported to be among a posse of clubs tracking Lincoln City's promising young goalkeeper Scott Loach.

Scouts from several leading sides, including Aston Villa and Derby County, have been flocking to Sincil Bank to see Loach in action after he has turned in a number of impressive performances for The Imps.

Lincoln boss Keith Alexander said: "It doesn't surprise me.

"A few clubs have looked at him. He's six foot four and he's top drawer."
