Roma striker Vincenzo Montella, and Sparta Prague's highly-rated midfielder Tomas Sivok have been linked with moves to Blackburn Rovers - but Mark Hughes is keeping his cards close to his chest.

Hughes said: "We're linked with a number of players (at the moment).

"The strength of that interest is variable.

"But there are a number of players we are looking at.

"Whether there's a possibility of bringing them in or not, or whether they're genuine targets is open to debate."
