Blackburn boss Allardyce prepares to make a double swoop on Marseille

28 May 2009 14:51
Blackburn manager Sam Allardyce is poised for a double raid on Marseille once the French league season ends this weekend. Allardyce, already trying to tie up a permanent deal for another Marseille player in centre-back Gael Givet following his recent loan spell at Ewood Park, is currently being linked with a move for Argentinian defender Renato Civelli. nd the French club's Cameroon international Modeste M'Bami is also potentially on the move to Rovers as a replacement for club legend Tugay. The defensive midfielder's agent, Jean-Christophe Thouvenel, has confirmed Rovers are in the hunt for M'Bami, who is available for nothing as he is out of contract this summer. 'There is real interest from Blackburn, and we can call it mutual as Modeste would welcome the possibility of joining them this summer,' said Thouvenel.
