Kean moves for QPR full-back

Blackburn are in talks with Queens Park Rangers to sign defender Bradley Orr, Sky Sports understands. QPR are willing to let Orr move on as the full-back is well down the pecking order at Loftus Road. The 29-year-old has only made two starts in the Premier League this term and the recent arrival of Nedum Onuoha has pushed him further down Mark Hughes' plans. Blackburn are in the market for a new right-back and had Young Boys defender Scott Sutter in on trial last week. However, it appears they have cooled their interest in Sutter and have now moved for former Bristol City man Orr. Orr is expected to undergo a medical and hold talks with Rovers as he looks to tie up a switch to Ewood Park before the close of the transfer window.
