Blackburn and Spurs target Bojan Krkic

Bojan Krkic is expected to be at the centre of transfer frenzy this summer as several clubs throughout Europe queue up for his services.

The 18-year-old Barcelona star is already a reported loan target for Blackburn, but Sam Allardyce is sure to face stiff competition for the striker’s services.

The Catalan-born youngster is very highly rated at the Nou Camp, but coach Pep Guardiola looks all set to allow Krkic to move out on loan for a season to gain some much-needed first-team football.

The player’s agent Zoran Vekic said he would not entertain talk of a transfer until the end of the season.

‘Now it is not possible,” said Vekic.

“In 15 days there are possible talks (with Barcelona) but now it is not possible to speak to another club.

“Bojan is very happy in Barcelona and it is not possible now to change club.”

Krkic has made 10 Champions League appearances this term and scored three goals and looks all set for a place on the bench in Rome for the final against Manchester United.

But he will not be able to rest up after that as he is all set for a summer of Under-21 action with Spain at the European Championships and if, as expected, he stars at the finals in Sweden then Barca will be inundated with enquiries for his services.

Spurs have also been linked with Krkic, whose Spain side will come face to face with England’s Under-21s on June 18.
