Bulgarian starts trial at Ewood Park

Bulgarian senior international Ivelin Popov has started a trial at Blackburn Rovers as takeover talk is put to one side in favour of cracking on.

The lad who is 22 plays for the almost wonderfully named Litex Lovech, will strut his stuff at Brockhall over the next few days as Blackburn search for firepower.

Ivelin can play either out on the right flank or as a second striker.
