Striker agrees six-month loan deal

Olympiakos have completed the signing of Matt Derbyshire from Blackburn Rovers. As revealed by skysports.com on Wednesday Olympiakos have landed Derbyshire on a loan deal until the end of the season. Derbyshire travelled to Greece on Wednesday after being given permission by Blackburn to hold talks with Olympiakos. The 22-year-old is looking forward to the chance of playing regularly at Olympiakos after growing increasingly frustrated with his lack of first-team opportunities at Ewood Park. Derbyshire will help fill the void left by the departure of Darko Kovacevic and he could make his debut in this weekend's derby with AEK Athens.
