Blackburn claim they pulled plug on Popov deal

Submitted by Anonymous on Wed, 09/01/2010 - 16:58

Blackburn Rovers have denied work permit problems were the reason they had failed to sign Bulgaria striker Ivelin Popov.

Rovers had looked at bringing the 22-year-old Litex Lovech forward to Ewood Park.

But they insisted they pulled the plug on the deal, not the British Government.

Popov had a trial at Blackburn last month but reports suggested he would only have been signed had Jason Roberts moved elsewhere on transfer deadline day.
