Allardyce considering Ibricic swoop

Skysports.com understands Blackburn are keen on signing Bosnia international midfielder Senijad Ibricic. Blackburn are weighing up a move for the Hajduk Split man as Rovers boss Sam Allardyce looks to bolster his squad during the January transfer window. A number of clubs, including Celtic, have been linked with talented 24-year-old, but Rovers are hoping to steal a march on their rivals by luring him to Ewood Park. Blackburn are understood to have watched Ibricic in the recent World Cup play-off encounters against Portugal and are ready to make a move for his signature next month.

Interested

Ibricic's agent, Mario Vokic, has confirmed Blackburn are keen on the attacking midfielder and that the player would welcome a move to England. "Blackburn are interested in Senijad, but there is nothing concrete at the moment," Vokic told skysports.com. "I believe Blackburn's scout has watched him in the games against Portugal and also the last two or three games for Hajduk. "Senijad would be interested in a move to England and I believe Hajduk want to sell him so we will see what happens."
