Rekik move completed

Rovers have completed the loan move of highly rated Manchester City star Karim Rekik.

Rekik who has been earning rave reviews as a youth product for City, made his first team debut earlier this season – and has served under Michael Appleton before on loan at Portsmouth.

The move WAS completed in time for the 18 year old to be included in tomorrow’s match day squad to face Arsenal in the FA Cup, where he is likely to make the starting line up.

Nice to see the Ewood fax machine was working this time.

Welcome to Ewood Park Karim.
