Blackburn are expecting to hold further talks with the Tromso winger Morten Gamst Pedersen.
Rovers face competition for the 22-year-old from both Aston Villa and Manchester United.
One stumbling block is believed to be Tromso's desire to hold on to Pedersen until the Norwegian domestic season ends in October.
A Rovers spokesman said: "We've held preliminary talks and expect to meet again in the next few days."
