MORTEN Gamst Pedersen’s Blackburn Rovers future should be decided within the next few days – with the club still hopeful he will extend his stay at Ewood Park.

Rovers believe Pedersen is still keen on striking a deal but want an answer, either way, sooner rather than later.

Manager Sam Allardyce said: “Negotiations are ongoing, on a constant basis, and I'm hoping that by the middle of next week or the end of next week.”
