Newcastle rival Blackburn for Man City defender Ben Haim

Newcastle United boss Joe Kinnear will compete with Blackburn Rovers for Manchester City defender Tal Ben Haim.

Rovers are regarded as favourites due to Sam Allardyce's relationship with Ben Haim from their days together at Bolton Wanderers.
