LEICESTER City boss Sven Goran Eriksson has admitted he is interested in Blackburn Rovers striker Jason Roberts, although no deal is imminent.

The Swede said Roberts was on a long list of potential targets but the Lancashire Telegraph understand Rovers are unlikely to allow the striker out on loan.

Eriksson said: "I have a list of about 50 names, and I have agents calling all the time.

"He (Roberts) is one of the names on the list, but it will not be done today."
