Blackburn duo Samba and Yakubu staying put

Blackburn Rovers boss Steve Kean is determined that defender Chris Samba and striker Aiyegbeni Yakubu will not be leaving Ewood Park this month. Samba was the subject of a £5million bid from QPR last week, and has also been linked with a move to Tottenham and was left out of the FA Cup defeat to Newcastle on Saturday through injury.

Kean said: "The message is simple - the Yak is our player, he is performing very well, he has done fantastic for us, he is not for sale.

"He is very happy, he is carrying a couple of knocks, so we rested him for next week."
