INDIAN Tycoon Ahsan Ali Syed remains determined to buy Blackburn Rovers after revealing his period of exclusivity has been extended.

An official statement from WGA's PR company, said: "Western Gulf Advisory ("WGA") announces that the period of exclusivity it was granted in order to conduct due diligence on Blackburn Rovers Football Club has been extended.

"This enables WGA to continue to explore the financial situation of the club while ensuring that no other bidder can buy it or look into its books.

"Although the due diligence process is taking longer than originally envisaged WGA remains committed to pursuing the opportunity to acquire such a prestigious club."

The Lancashire Telegraph understands though other interested parties have progressed in their attempts to purchase the club, while the Premier League have not yet been approached.
