Blackburn Rovers are looking to act quickly in order to sign Arsenal striker Park Chu-Young, this after Gunners' manager Arsene Wenger suggested that the player did not have a future at the Emirates.
The South Korean made a switch to the Emirates only 12 months back, but has not been able to convince Wenger of his abilities in the limited opportunities that he has received, playing just six times for the North London outfit last term.
Wenger, as a result, has decided to offload the 27-year old this summer, saying earlier in the week: "[Nicklas] Bendtner, [Sebastien] Squillaci and Park will be on their way to go somewhere."
Blackburn could be the player's destination, with the Championship club keen on bringing Park on a season-long loan as a replacement for Leon Best, who is expected to be out for six months.
The injury for Best was a desperately unlucky blow for the Rovers, who signed him on a £3 million deal earlier in the summer.
Park, who is part of the South Korean national side at the ongoing Olympics, has according to reports in the Daily Mirror been watched by the Rovers' club scouts, and gave them a good indication of his ability with a goal in his national side's 2-1 victory against Switzerland on Sunday.
Kean however is unlikely to make a permanent bid for Park yet, while Wenger is keen on having the player off his wage books for good.
However, if no other club shows an interest for the striker in the coming weeks, then the Gunners could well send him to the troubled Rovers side, who are trying to jump right back into the Premier League after going down last term.
