Blackburn Rovers are edging closer to landing Red Bull Salzburg striker Marc Janko.

The Mirror says Blackburn boss Paul Ince is closing in on a £3.5 million move for giant Austrian striker Janko - and had him watched playing for Red Bull Salzburg last night.

Ince's right-hand man Ray Mathias checks out the 6ft 5in hitman who scored a hat-trick in front of top spy Martin Glover last week as he closes in on a Salzburg goal record - having netted 25 this term.
