Blackburn Rovers will make a move for Le Mans defender Gregory Cerdan to replace the departing Stephen Warnock.

Sam Allardyce is keen to fill the hole that Warnock will make when he leaves for Aston Villa and has targeted Cerdan who has also been linked with Fulham.

Cottagers boss Roy Hodgson has also targeted the £2million-rated centre-half who is keen to play in England.

"I am interested in the Premier League and if a deal happens then I will take the opportunity. But I will also stay at Le Mans without any problems," the 27-year old said.
