Pedersen talks underway
// A bit of a hack but it works// The article snippet is wrapped onto a second line, even when #article-sub is emptyif( $("div#article-sub").children().length == 0 ) {$("div#article-sub").remove();} Blackburn's Morten Gamst Pedersen has confirmed contract talks are underway, although he is currently focusing on his football.[LNB] The Norway international, who has been at Ewood Park since 2004, is now into the final year of his Rovers contract.[LNB]However, rather than look beyond the end of the campaign, Pedersen just wants to focus of playing well for Rovers.[LNB]The 27-year-old only scored one Premier League goal last season, a record he is desperate to put right this time around.[LNB]Goals target"I want to score more than one goal this season, that is obviously a target," he told the Lancashire Evening Telegraph.[LNB]"I am working hard and trying to get in the box and do my shooting and hopefully I can get a goal earlier than last season. [LNB]"I am good, I feel well, had a really good summer. We are talking but I try to focus on my football and what happens will come with my agent. [LNB]"I just try to focus on what I am doing." [LNB]Rovers were unlucky to emerge pointless from their season opener against Manchester City, although Pedersen is staying positive.[LNB]RewardHe believes that if Sam Allardyce's side can reproduce that performance against Sunderland then they will get their reward.[LNB]"I think we deserved more against Manchester City," he added. "We created enough chances but football is about taking the chances.[LNB]"The new boys did well. We do well but don't win. If we hadn't played well but win that would have been better. [LNB]"We have to take the positives though, that is football. [LNB]"If we do the same next week against Sunderland hopefully we can score some goals and get three points."[LNB]
