Material gains for the Little Buddha as Blackburn table offer for De la Pena

18 June 2009 00:22
Blackburn are interested in taking former Spanish international Ivan de la Pena on loan from Espanyol. The 33-year-old midfielder, nicknamed the Little Buddha, is seeking to quit La Liga, claiming he is underpaid. And Rovers boss Sam Allardyce has tabled an offer with view to a permanent deal. Meanwhile, Rovers are poised to reward Morten Gamst Pedersen with a new improved deal. The Norwegian winger, 27, was a key figure as Rovers escaped relegation under Sam Allardyce last season.
