Blackburn's colossal centre-half Christopher Samba has refused to rubbish reports linking him with a move from Ewood Park this year, fuelling speculation that a switch is imminent.

The 25-year-old former Hertha Berlin man has attracted attention from a number of clubs after impressing over the last couple of seasons. He has made himself a regular in the first team at the Lancashire club and has developed an eye for goal too - being used as an emergency striker at times.

Three clubs, all English based are reportedly chasing the Congolese internationals signature - with a move to Eastlands, where he would be reunited with former Blackburn boss Mark Hughes the most likely scenario.

Both Everton and West Ham are linked too, but the money on offer at Manchester City coupled with the prospect of working under Hughes again is sure to appeal to the towering stopper.

But he was diplomatic when quizzed on the subject of a transfer. Instead choosing to re-iterate that he still remains a Blackburn player.

"I am still at Blackburn so I can't comment," he told Sky Sports.

"Whoever wants me will need to talk to Blackburn Rovers and we will see.

I have nothing to add. I am calm and waiting."
