Calve and Gueye on trial

French-based aces Jean Calve and Babacar Gueye are training with Blackburn Rovers. 24-year-old Calve is a full-back from Nancy, whilst Gueye, 22, is a striker with Metz. Calve comes in from Nancy, and it appears Blackburn have moved ahead of Stoke and Lorient in the chase to sign him. Calve confirmed last week that all three clubs were interested, but he is now in Lancashire looking to impress manager Sam Alladryce. "With Calve we will wait until the weekend," confirmed Nancy's general manager Nicolas Holveck. Metz have also confirmed they have allowed Senegal forward Gueye to travel to Blackburn. Gueye will stay with Rovers for the rest of the week in a bid to win a move to Ewood Park.
