Everton's Yakubu rejects Blackburn advances

Everton striker Yakubu Aiyegbeni has rejected an offer from Blackburn Rovers.

Yakubu spent the second part of last season on loan at Leicester City but has returned to be on the fringes under David Moyes and it looks likely that he will remain with the Toffees past this transfer window.
