The Championship side have had their bid accepted by Villa but have failed to agree personal terms with the Scotland international.<br />

Bowyer is keen on bringing a couple of new players before the Championship season kicks off this weekend. The manager confirmed that Cameroon born defender Yann Songo is still undergoing trial at the club.<br />

"We had a bid and that was accepted, but we've not continued talks at this present moment in time," Bowyer told the Lancashire Telegraph.<br />

"We're exploring all options, there might be a chance it might happen, if not we have to be prepared for it not happening.<br />

"We've just got to keep as many plates spinning at the moment as we possibly can. We have a massive list and we're exploring all avenues at this moment but we are hopeful of bringing in certainly one or maybe two more."
