Arsenal attacker linked with loan switch to Rovers

Skysports.com understands Blackburn Rovers are lining up a loan move for Arsenal attacker Jay Emmanuel-Thomas. The 20-year-old has not featured in Arsene Wenger's first-team plans so far this season and could exit the Emirates in search of first-team football. He has had previous stints at Blackpool and Doncaster Rovers in the past but Rovers could offer him valuable Premier League playing time. Blackburn have been linked with a number of high-profile names this January as new owners Venky's try and capture the imagination at Ewood Park. New manager Steve Kean saw his side earn a 3-1 win over Liverpool on Wednesday night as the Lancashire outfit moved up the table.
