BLACKBURN Rovers are close to completing a deal to sign Everton striker Yakubu.
Rovers previously had a bid turned down for the 28-year-old, understood to be in the region of £1.5m.
Everton were initially thought to want nearer to £3m but they are now set to add to their forward options with the signing of Argentinian striker Denis Stracqualursi.
Sources have now indicated that the Nigerian has travelled to Blackburn for talks, with some even describing it as ‘a done deal’, although Rovers are yet to make any comment.
