Allardyce looking to recapture the winger's Bolton form
Blackburn Rovers boss Sam Allardyce has confirmed that he is poised to bring El Hadji Diouf to Ewood Park.
Allardyce and Diouf worked together at Bolton during a successful three-year spell, and it appears that the pairing are now set to be reunited at Blackburn.
"We're in the process of trying to sign El-Hadji Diouf at the moment," said Allardyce.
'Prime of his career'
Diouf has experienced a tempestuous relationship with managers and fans alike since joining the Premier League in 2002, but in Sam Allardyce it seems that the Senegalese may have found the man to harness his precocious talent.
"I'm hoping he can come and give me the kind of performances he gave at Bolton," added the Rovers manager.
"He can play a few positions, down the right, down the left, as well as along the front.
"At 26, he is in the prime of his career, so hopefully we will get that sorted today and get him in the squad tomorrow."
