Blackburn sign Camel Meriem

Blackburn have completed a six month loan for Camel Meriem, the out of favour French midfielder who joins from Monaco. Meriem is a former French international.

Over the past two years, Meriem has seen spells of bad luck and injury decrease his opportunities at Monaco, and a move to the Premiership beckoned.

Hull City had been monitoring the Frenchman but did not make an offer.

Now Sam Allardyce has landed Meriem and the player will go straight into the first team squad.
