BLACKBURN boss Mark Hughes could make a swoop for a new striker after handing a trial to the South Korean international Ahn Jung-hwan

The 30-year-old will spend the next few days at Brockhall with the aim being to secure a lucrative move to the Premiership.

But one man who doesn't appear to be Ewood bound is Wolverhampton Wanderers hit-man Kenny Miller after Rovers today ruled out a move for the Scot following speculation in the national media.

Nevertheless, Hughes may still be in the market for a new striker after releasing Matt Jansen last week and he has decided to take a closer look at Ahn after the player's representatives made it known he would welcome a move to England.

At the moment, the Korean is with Metz, but his contract runs out at the end of the season and his French employers are ready to let him leave now if he can get fixed up with a new club.

The skilful forward, who made a big impression at the 2002 World Cup, will spend the rest of the week trying to win Hughes over, and if he does then he could be offered a short-term deal.

"He's coming to spend a few days with us," confirmed Rovers' chairman John Williams.

"We were asked if we'd like to have a look at him and that's what we've decided to do, but we haven't discussed anything yet in regard to signing him."

Ironically, former Blackburn boss Graeme Souness once tried to bring Ahn to Ewood shortly after the last World Cup but that move never transpired.

Ahn has certainly had a colourful career, but he is perhaps most famous for scoring the goal that knocked Italy out of the 2002 World Cup at a time when he was also playing for Italian club side Perugia.

Speaking about the prospect of securing a move to Rovers, the player, who has scored twice in 15 appearances for Metz, said: "I haven't signed the deal yet and it's still possible that this won't work in the end. Now I really feel cautious.

"I will never let go of this opportunity since a big league club picked me. I will do my best to meet the expectations from my fans."

Meanwhile, Ryan Nelsen has pleaded guilty to an FA charge of improper conduct relating back to Rovers' game with Everton on December 3, although the club will request a personal hearing for the New Zealander.

Nelsen was charged over comments he made about referee Mark Halsey, who sent off Andy Todd for handball in the game.

The Kiwi allegedly said at the time: "He's got a nice track record of sending off Blackburn players, so something might be up.

"The sending-off changed the game but it happened with the same referee against Liverpool earlier in the season.

"He cost us points in that game and he's cost us points in this game as well. For some reason he likes giving red cards to us."

Nelsen is likely to face a fine rather than a ban if any punishment goes ahead.
