Arsenal lead Junior Hoilett chase

Arsenal are reportedly leading the chase to sign Blackburn Rovers winger Junior Hoilett on a free transfer.

The 21-year-old, whose current deal expires at the end of the season, is not expected to sign a new contract at Ewood Park.

The Gunners have made their interest known to the Canadian, according to Goal.com.

A £7m move between the player and Tottenham Hotspur was thought to have broken down in the January transfer window.
