MARTIN Olsson will look to follow close pal Junior Hoilett out of the Ewood Park exit door this summer – if Blackburn Rovers do suffer Premier League relegation.

A Bolton Wanderers win at home to Spurs tonight would leave Rovers six points adrift of safety with just two games to go and needing an unlikely sequence of results to salvage survival.

Should the worst happen, a number of Rovers’ top players would be facing an uncertain Ewood future with clubs from home and abroad already circling.

Steven Nzonzi, Yakubu and Paul Robinson are just some of the other players who would be left seriously considering their future if the club drops into the Championship.

Sources close to Olsson have told the Lancashire Telegraph the Swedish international is likely to be one player who does quit the club if Rovers lose their top flight status.

Clubs from the Premier League, Turkey and Italy are understood to be tracking the 23-year-old and his international ambitions would leave him seeking a fresh challenge.

His future is unlikely to be decided though before the start of the European Championships on June 8, where Olsson’s Sweden will be pitting their wits against England in the group stages.

The full back, whose twin brother Marcus joined Rovers in January, could be tempted to remain at Ewood should they pull off an unlikely great escape, although he would want clarity on the club’s ambitions.

Rovers’ owners Venky’s though would be asking a sizeable transfer fee for Olsson, after he signed a five year deal committing himself to the club until the summer of 2015.

His best friend Hoilett would also definitely leave Ewood Park should the club suffer the drop, with even survival unlikely to persuade the contract rebel to remain in East Lancashire.

The Canadian starlet is out of contract this summer and wanted by a number of clubs from the Premier League, Germany, France and Italy.

Talks about a new deal had been put on hold until Rovers’ fate was sorted out, after lengthy negotiations stalled, but sources close to Hoilett have confirmed there would be no chance of him staying if relegation did happen.

He would be willing to re-start talks should the club somehow scramble to safety but, with Rovers in disarray, is understood to be favouring a move away whatever.

Assuming they did lose Hoilett this summer, Rovers will be hoping he opts to stay in the Premier League with the club set to lose him for less than £700,000 should he move abroad, compared to the estimated figure of around £4m if he stayed in England Rovers would be entitled to compensation under the terms of the Bosman ruling because Hoilett is under the age of 23, but transfers between national associations are subject to different rules.
