Samba: I want out of Rovers

CHRISTOPHER SAMBA looks set for the exit door at Blackburn after he declared yesterday he wants to leave in the current transfer window.

Speculation about Samba’s future has increased in the past few days after he was last week quoted in French sports newspaper L’Equipe saying that his club, who have been struggling near the bottom of the Premier League all season, “doesn’t evolve at all”, that “things have not gone as I was told” and that he felt it was “time for a change”.

The defender has been linked with Tottenham, QPR and Paris St Germain, and Rovers manager Steve Kean revealed on Thursday that two bids for the player — believed to be from QPR — had been turned down.
