Steve Kean to tie up Adrien Silva?

Blackburn Rovers boss Steve Kean has reportedly flown to Portugal to tie up a move for Sporting Lisbon midfielder Adrien Silva.

The 23-year-old, who has also been linked with Everton, has refused a new contract with the Portuguese club, according to The Sun.

Blackburn have already secured the midfield signing of Danny Murphy this summer, and it is understood that Kean wants to pair the duo in central midfield.

Silva has played for Portugal at youth level.
