Blackburn wants Bojan on loan
British tabloid The Sun claims that English Premier Leauge club Blackburn Rovers wants to sign Barcelona forward and Spanish youth internacional Bojan Krkic (18) on loan in the summer.
Blackburn manager Sam Allardyce would already have made a loan deal inquiry after the English club was alerted that Barcelona are hoping to get the Catalan striker fixed up with a club next season. Barcelona manager Josep Guardiola would not believe Bojan is ready to play regularly in the first team yet.
A senior Blackburn source is quoted by the tabloid as saying: "We heard he could be available and are starting to think about next season now our Premier League place is all but secured. Sam has worked with big-name stars before and would like to do so again with Rovers."

Blackburn Rovers interested in Gudjohnsen
British tabloid The Sun claims that Blackburn Rovers is interested in Barcelona attacker and Iceland international Eidur Gudjohnsen (30).
Blackburn Rovers manager Sam Allardyce, who worked with Gudjohnsen at Bolton Wanderers in the 1999-2000 season and who already tried to sign Gudjohnsen when he was Newcastle manager in the 2007-2008 season, is determined not to sell striker Santa Cruz until he has found a replacement and would therefore be checking on Gudjohnsen.
With the Icelandic striker not being guaranteed first-team football at Barcelona, Blackburn hopes to have a chance to sign the player. Gudjohnsen, whose current contract with Barcelona expires in the summer of 2010, could be available for 2 million euro°.
Asked about the rumour, the player's father and agent Arnor Gudjohnsen said in an interview with British sports site Setanta that Gudjohnsen will certainly not leave Barcelona in January: "No there is nothing, he is not going anywhere, 100 percent. Guardiola said at the start of the summer that he wants to keep him for the whole season so he is at least staying until the summer.
In the summer he has one year left on his contract, then we will see what happens but I think he would like to play his contract out in Barcelona. There has always been interest from different clubs, but you know, nothing that he has even looked at or thought about. I have to be honest with you, I have not heard from Blackburn. There is nothing going on."
In an interview with British sports site Sky Sports, Arnor Gudjohnsen repeated the same message: "There been no contact with Blackburn Rovers regarding Eidur. Eidur is happy at Barcelona and is concentrating on helping them win silverware this season. There is always interest in Eidur, but I have not heard from Blackburn. I don't think anything will happen in January as Eidur wants to stay and Barcelona want to keep him."

New Blackburn manager Paul Ince has already brought in former Tottenham goalkeeper Paul Robinson as first choice and is now looking for another player who can act as back-up.
