Blackburn striker Matt Derbyshire is reportedly in
line to make a surprise move to Greek side Olympiakos before the
end of the transfer window.
Olympiakos have approached Rovers about signing the
England Under-21 international on loan until the end of the
season.
The Greek side have been impressed by Derbyshire's performances
for club and country over the last 12 months
Derbyshire has found himself down the pecking order at Ewood
Park this season with Roque Santa Cruz, Benni McCarthy and Jason
Roberts ahead of him in Sam Allardyce's plans.
The 22-year-old has jumped at the chance to join the Greek
titans as he searches for regular first-team action.
Derbyshire is flying out to Athens to tie up the loan move and
is expected to finalise the deal on Friday.
