No luck for Dean Furman at Blackburn Rovers

Koita is expected to soon sign a three-year contract with the club and could link up with his new team-mates before the season starts next month.

However, after announcing deals for French duo Sacha Petshi and Bangaly-Fode Koita on Tuesday, Bowyer has confirmed offers for Furman and Coke will not be forthcoming.

Would Koita be a good signing for Blackburn?

Blackburn finished ninth in the Championship last season.

He told The Official Blackburn Rovers Website: “In France, the game is more technical, but here it is physical, it is very strong”.

Blackburn boss Gary Bowyer is in the market for attacking reinforcements after losing Josh King to Bournemouth this summer, while doubts surround the long-term futures of Jordan Rhodes and Rudy Gestede.

He is likely to play a back-up role to the star strikers and will provide some valuable depth for a team that is still hopeful of pushing into the Premier League promotion spots next season.

Petshi began his career with French outit Troyes before heading out on loan to Orleans on loan.

The Siya crew has been informed that Blackburn Rovers have decided against signing Bafana Bafana midfielder, Dean Furman. How about the transfer embargo the club are battling against?
