Blackburn boss Kean happy to restore Arsenal, Spurs target Samba as captain

Blackburn boss Steve Kean is happy to hand the captaincy back to defender Christopher Samba.

Kean has no hesitation in restoring Samba as his skipper against Everton today and is praying he does not get the call he dreads from Arsenal or Tottenham.

The Scot said: "If anyone is going to come in for him they have an idea what the magic number has to be so I would imagine at this stage it has put a few people off.

"If someone hits that number then the club would have to make a decision. It wouldn't be good for me.

"I'm hoping a bid doesn't come in and I'd like to get our bodies in and then turn my phone off."
