Kean warns Hoilett: Leave us and you risk life on bench

Junior Hoilett has been warned by Steve Kean that if he leaves Blackburn this summer he may not be as a big a star at another club.

Hoilett is set to quit Rovers when his contract expires in June and is being tracked by a host of clubs, including Arsenal, Newcastle and Bayern Munich.

The Canadian forward is an automatic choice under Kean because of his red-hot form and the Blackburn boss has told him he may not be a regular elsewhere.

"If someone is out of contract and is playing the way he's playing, there's going to be teams interested," said Kean.

"We want him to stay here because he's playing out of his skin. Would he play week in week out if he went to another club? I don't know.

"We hope that we can get ourselves into a position of safety and then make him an offer."
