N’Zonzi on his Triumph bike out of here

Steven N’Zonzi has been told to sort his Rovers future out as the rest of the players set sail for Austria and the Rovers pre-season training camp.

A 26 man group flew out to Austria without the lanky midfield afro enthusiast after the Frenchman’s reps told Rovers that he wants to leave following relegation last season.

A fractured relationship with manager Steve Kean is also to blame with N’Zonzi frozen out of first team affairs at the back end of the last season and serious questions over the player’s attitude… Swansea away springing to mind.

There has been considerable interest from others registered in Steven with the likes of Arsenal, Spartak Moscow, Borussia Dortmund and Stoke (spot the odd one out) all sticking their hands in the air with an initial enquiry.

Rovers for their part are reported to have placed the asking price on The Zonz ata hefty £10m – not bad if they can get it for a player that cost £400,000 for Amiens three seasons ago.
