lackburn boss Steve Kean is set to complete his first summer signing by bringing in Partizan Belgrade midfielder Radosav Petrovic.[LNB] A work permit is the only obstacle to the 22-year-old Serbian being unveiled as a Rovers player, as Kean looks to reinforce his squad ahead of the new Premier League season, which kicks off on August 13.[LNB]"We're very close," said Kean.[LNB]"We've agreed a fee, we've agreed personal terms and now we're just subject to a work permit and Petrovic will become a Blackburn player.[LNB]"He's a fantastic player, I've seen him for a number of years. Unfortunately for us we lost Jermaine Jones back to Schalke and we've been looking to strengthen in that area."[LNB]One player who could be set to leave Ewood Park is Nikola Kalanic, with the striker likely to join Ukrainian side Dnipro.[LNB]"That's been quite complicated," added Kean.[LNB]"We believe a bid has been accepted by the Ukrainian club that has been interested in Niko and if that goes through, then we wish him all the best.[LNB]"I think we're very close to agreeing a deal and I think he'll move on."
