BLACKBURN Rovers are understood to have shown interest in Russian international right back Alexander Anyukov, from Zenit Saint Petersburg, although a price has yet to be agreed on.

He has been targeted by Liverpool in the past and is out contract in December 2012.

On the transfer hunt, manager Steve Kean said: “We are very busy at the moment.

"We haven’t got anything solid at the moment but we have been busy over the last three to four weeks.

"I am sure we will have three or four signings by the start of the season.”
