Baggio joins Blackburn as Dalmat charmed to Tottenham

BLACKBURN have confirmed the signing of Dino Baggio on a season-long loan from Lazio. The former Italy international, who had also been linked with Wolves and Celtic, agreed personal terms at Ewood Park yesterday.

The arrival of Baggio completes a busy week for Blackburn, who also tied up a loan deal for Markus Babbel and signed Rangers ace Barry Ferguson, as Graeme Souness continues to make the money from the sales of Damien Duff and David Dunn go a long way.

Blackburn chief executive John Williams also confirmed details of the deal which brought Ferguson, described by Souness as an "outstanding" player, from Ibrox.
