Half the Premier League are chasing Blackburn Rovers midfielder Steven N'Zonzi.

The Lancashire Telegraph says as many as 10 clubs are now considering making a move for the 23-year-old, with Newcastle United, Stoke City and Fulham said to be among those interested.

Arsenal also continue to be linked with a bid for the midfielder, who still has three years left on his contract at Ewood Park but would be eager for the chance to remain in the Premier League following Rovers' relegation earlier this month.
