Blackburn keen to tie down Hoilett after attracting Arsenal, Tottenham interest

Blackburn Rovers manager Steve Kean is desperate to secure the signature of David 'Junior' Hoilett to a new deal.

The 21-year old Canadian winger, who has scored three goals this season, is due to come out of contract at Ewood Park soon and Kean insists it is at the top of the agenda to tie him up.

"What we have to do as a club is make him a good contract offer and I think we have done that," Kean said of Hoilett who is beginning to attract interest from the likes of Arsenal and Tottenham.

"His parents and representatives are speaking with the directors on a daily basis so hopefully they can push it over the line.

"The boy is desperate to sign."
