Sutter would love Rovers return

FC Zurich full-back, Scott Sutter, hopes that Blackburn Rovers will rekindle an interest in bringing him to the Premier League this summer.

The 25 year old was given permission to speak to the Lancashire outfit in January, only for Steve Kean's men to wrap up a deal for Bradley Orr instead.

The Swiss international is still hurt by missing out on his dream move, but hasn't given up on playing for the Ewood Park side.

Speaking to GiveMeFootball he said: 'It wasn't a pleasant experience.

'Those last three or four days of the transfer window, including having to train, was a very physical and emotional time especially after it had fallen through and me coming so close.

'It was literally taken out of my hands and that it didn't work out was obviously heart-breaking for me.

Sutter, though, revealed that he had respect for the way Steve Kean took the time to explain the intricacies surrounding the deal.

'I went in, sat down with Steve and he just said to be completely honest with you, we've put an offer in for Bradley Orr, three weeks before you came, the first one got rejected and we improved that offer.

'For the last two weeks it's been on the table and it hasn't been rejected but it hasn't been accepted.

'If that doesn't go through today, which I don't think it will, then we'd like to take you on.

'Sometime later he called me and said I'm really sorry but the offer was accepted from QPR and because we had him on our radar that's the direction we're going in.'

Rovers remain in trouble in the Premier League, lying in 18th place heading into Easter.
