Everton striker Yakubu has turned down an opportunity to join Blackburn Rovers, according to Sky Sports.The Nigerian international, who spent part of last term on loan at Championship side Leicester City, has slipped down the pecking order at Everton and has even turned out for the reserves in recent weeks.
Leicester had initially been keen to purchase Yakubu outright but the deal has stalled and Yakubu has remained with Everton all Summer.
A switch elsewhere was expected but time is running out for a move during the current transfer window. Blackburn were prepared to offer him a way out of Everton, but the striker has snubbed their advances and chosen to remain on Merseyside for the time being.
