R'borg hitman to Blackburn

Blackburn are chasing Yssouf Kone. The Rosenborg striker has impressed this season, particularly in the games against Chelsea and Valencia, as Rosenborg continue their impressive Champions League campaign.

Kone is valued at around £2m by Rosenborg, and Blackburn are believed to be more than willing to meet their asking price.

However, should Kone agree to move to Blackburn there are questions over whether the player would obtain a work permit.

The 25-year-old Burkina Faso striker has played previously in Italy with Lecce.
