Junior Hoilett focused on Blackburn Rovers

Blackburn Rovers winger Junior Hoilett has insisted that the continued speculation over his future will not affect his efforts to keep his current employers in the Premier League.

The 21-year-old's two-goal showing in the 2-0 win over Wolverhampton Wanderers last weekend pulled Rovers three points clear of the relegation zone.

He is out of contract in the summer and, although Rovers boss Steve Kean is hopeful that Hoilett will sign a new deal, he has been linked with moves to Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal.

While Hoilett has refused to discuss his long-term future, he has rejected the suggestion that any uncertainty may disrupt his current good form.

He told The Mirror: "I just focus on my football. Whatever ­happens off the field, ­happens off the field."

Hoilett is a product of Rovers' youth system and he has made 82 first-team appearances for the Lancashire club.
