Arsenal misfit Marouane Chamakh is reportedly being eyed up by Blackburn Rovers, who are looking to bolster their front line with the Morroccan striker.   As reported by the Lancashire Telegraph[http://www. lancashiretelegraph. co. uk/sport/9872122. Rovers_look_to_Arsenal_striker_Marouane_Chamakh/], Chamakh is a target for Rovers, after boss Steve Kean was warned off pursuing long-time transfer target Jordan Rhodes.

Newcastle United boss Alan Pardew believes that he will know whether Junior Hoilett will be joining the club within the next couple of days.     The Candian-born winger was one of the stand-out performers in a Blackburn side that struggled throughout the season and were eventually relegated to the Championship.

Arsenal midfielder Andrey Arshavin and Blackburn defender Christopher Samba have both sealed movers away from the Premier League on the final day of the Russian transfer window.     Arshavin has joined on Zenit St Petersburg on loan until July and has revealed on his official website how pleased he is at returning to Russia.
