Kean wants Ibisevic decision
Blackburn boss Steve Kean has given Vedad Ibisevic 24-hours to decide whether he wants to move to Ewood Park Sky Sports understands.
The Hoffenheim striker is mulling over a move to Rovers after both clubs agreed a fee.
Personal terms are close to being agreed with the Bosnian although Kean still has concerns over his fitness over the last few years.
He told Sky Sports: “We’ve got permission to talk to him. We’re trying to get personal terms agreed and then accelerate it to a medical.
“He had a very good record until his first knee injury. Then since then he’s had another little injury.
“He’s not played as much recently. But before all that he’d had a very good goal scoring record.
If a deal for Ibisevic doesn’t go through then the Rovers boss will press ahead with a move for Ajax striker Mounir El Hamdaoui who is out of favour at the Amsterdam Arena.
“If it doesn’t get done today then we’ll probably move on to the other one.” Kean said.
“I had a good meeting with the other player and he’s a player that will move on if not to us then to another big club in Europe. It was a good meeting.

He added: “It won’t be both though. We are looking at one of the two.
“We need someone with a track record of scoring goals. You look for someone with a goal every two games then you look at all the different markets for that.”
Either deal will signify progress for Kean who has struggled in the transfer market so far this summer.
