JET-HEELED winger Damien Duff is ready to sit down and discuss a new deal with Rovers in the summer once he has helped to mastermind the club's survival bid.

Blackburn boss Graeme Souness looks set to offer his inspirational Irishman a 'double-your-money' contract in a bid to ward off interest from both Liverpool and Newcastle.

And the Republic of Ireland international has indicated he would be interested in commiting his long-term future to the club above and beyond the two years left on his existing deal.

"I've not heard anything about a new deal as yet but I've still got two years left on my current contract after this and I love it here and I'm very happy where I am," said Duff.

"I love working with the gaffer and the rest of the lads and this is a great place to be.

"So I can only repeat what I've said before which is I'm happy where I am."

Duff only put pen to paper on a four year contract -- reported to be worth around £15,000 a week -- at the start of last season.

But his form in the Premiership over the last seven months has alerted the likes of Bobby Robson and Gerard Houllier.

And Souness and the Ewood board are now keen to tie-up one of their star-men on a longer-term contract, knowing that the 23-year-old could walk away for nothing in two years' time.

That would see Duff double his wages and become the club's second highest paid player behind record-signing Andy Cole.

But the board would see that as money well spent when you consider the fact he must now be worth around £15 million in today's transfer market.
