Freiburg reveal Blackburn want Cisse

SC Freiburg have revealed Blackburn Rovers want their star striker Papiss Cisse.

The Senegal international has scored 22 goals in this season's Bundesliga.

Freiburg sporting director Dirk Dufner told Kicker: "I can confirm that Blackburn have made us an offer."

Arsenal and Liverpool are also among the clubs linked with a move for the 25-year-old, who is under contract until 2014.

He last week expressed his happiness with life in the south west of Germany, in the face of speculation about a bid from the Reds.

"Everyone is talking about me leaving the club," he told broadcaster Sudwestrundfunk at the time. "But I have not received any concrete offers from another club.

"And as long as I do not receive anything like that, I am to stay on at Freiburg for sure. I enjoy being at this club, it is very tough to find a similar club."
