Rovers' Dutch interest
Hughes sends scouts to watch Eredivisie games

Blackburn Rovers' next signing could be from Holland as Mark Hughes has dispatched his scouts to watch a number of Eredivisie games.
The two players who have emerged as targets are
Heerenveen's American midfielder Michael Bradley and Moussa Dembele of AZ Alkmaar.
Hughes' scouts have been spotted in Holland in recent weeks, and it is claimed that Bradley and Dembele have been highlighted as possible buys.
Dembele is a Belgian international winger who is forging a good reputation for himself at Alkmaar.
However, AZ are financially very strong and would not even consider letting Dembele leave in this window - indeed Dutch sources say he could be targeted by a host of big clubs come the summer.
Bradley turned professional at just 16 and when he joined Heerenveen in 2006 he was the youngest player to move abroad from the MLS in its history.
Bradley, 20, has stated a desire to try his luck in the Premier League or Bundesliga, and Blackburn could present him with an opportunity of an English move, but again there are likely to be other interested parties.
