Free agent Lee Keun-ho ponders Blackburn move

South Korea international Lee Keun-ho remains in the sights of Blackburn Rovers. Lee was invited for a trial with the Premier League strugglers earlier in January but the 23-year-old declined the offer, saying he would only join a club where he is guaranteed regular first-team action.

However, the South Korea international is still without a club after his contract with Daegu FC expired in December and reports suggest he is willing to reconsider his options.

"I have many options at this stage. I am carefully going through them. Nothing has been decided about my future yet," he told the Korean press.

A host of K-League clubs including his former club Daegu, Seongnam Ilhwa Chunma and Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors are understood to have offered lucrative deals in the hope of signing the prolific striker.

Despite the local interest, Lee maintained that his goal is to play in Europe and his agent has spoken to Blackburn, and other clubs in Spain and Belgium.

He is expected to make a decision on his future in the coming week.
