BLACKBURN Rovers have been linked with Malmo's 16-year-old starlet Marko Mitrovic, dubbed in some quarters as the 'new Zlatan Ibrahimovic'.

But while Blackburn are believed to be showing interest in the young striker, along with Arsenal, Inter Milan, Feyenoord and PSV Eindhoven, the teenager is expected to sign for Chelsea, according to Malmo's sporting director Hasse Borg.

"We are in negotiations with Chelsea at the moment, but nothing has been decided yet," Borg said.
