Samba set for January exit
Blackburn defender Chris Samba has been linked with Arsenal and Tottenham after revealing he is keen to depart Ewood Park.
Samba revealed earlier this week he was ready to quit the club following the sacking of Sam Allardyce as manager at Ewood Park and rumours have already linked both Arsenal and Spurs with a swoop for the towering defender.
Gunners boss Arsene Wenger has admitted he does not expect to do a great deal of business in January but he is keen to add to his defence as Thomas Vermaelen remains an injury concern despite his return to training, while Laurent Koscielny and Sebastien Squillaci are still getting used to life in the Premier League.
Spurs boss Harry Redknapp is also thought to be on the lookout for defensive reinforcements and has been linked with a host of centre-backs in the build up to the January transfer window due to concerns over the long-term fitness of crocked stars Ledley King and Jonathan Woodgate.
New Rovers boss Steve Kean will be desperate for Samba to stay as he hopes to impress the club's owners and prove his worth as a manager between now and the end of the season but it may prove hard to resist the likes of Arsenal and Spurs after Samba revealed he is eager to move on.
