Blackburn Rovers chairman John Williams insists that former West Brom and Wigan Athletic striker Jason Roberts will not be leaving Ewood Park this summer.

The 30-year-old forward has been restricted to only 23 starts in his two seasons wit the club and had a transfer request turned down earlier in the campaign.

Roberts has started Blackburn's last five games but continues to be linked with the likes of Derby County, Sunderland and Bolton Wanderers.

However, Williams told the Lancashire Telegraph: "Jason's been on a good run of late and, as far as I'm concerned, he'll be with us at the start of next season.

"Certainly, at the moment, he's not for sale and we won't be entertaining any approaches for him.

"We aren't in the process of wanting to lose our best players and Jason comes into that category."
