Blackburn bag three strikers, including Croatia international Nikola Kalinic

Published 00:00 04/08/09 By By Football Spy

Blackburn last night struck a deal for Croatia international Nikola Kalinic - as part of a treble striker swoop.

The 21-year-old will sign from Hajduk Split subject to a work permit hearing on Thursday. He could cost up to £12million in a four-year deal.

Rovers boss Sam Allardyce yesterday signed forward Franco Di Santo on loan from Chelsea for the first half of the season.

And Nathan Ellington has joined on trial from Watford with a view to a season-long loan.
