Rovers are looking to bolster their strikeforce and had appeared set to sign Walsall striker Amadou Bakayoko before he joined Coventry.

The 26-year-old arrived on loan in January 2017 before signing a permanent two-year-contract last August after moving from Barnsley for an undisclosed fee.

Last season he was Shrewsbury's top scorer with 14 goals as Town reached the League One play-off finals and Checkatrade Trophy final.
